That's a great thread, and a topic I've seen presented a few times at
conferences and written up in white papers. It's a very tricky thing
to manage correctly. My partner has moved a huge app in FoxBase code
running in FP 2.x runtimes completely to Windows and a commercial
framework. It took years! Not just the coding and the testing and the
training, but prying the DOS app out of the last few clerks hands
after all the functionality was ported over and improved. It's unclear
at this point if our next move is to move the app client/server or if
we should just be moving individual modules into a separate LAMP app.
Lots to consider...
