>>>You are entitled to your opinion. In this case it is uniformed and incorrect. One of our competitors tried a full .Net package in 2002 and failed after 2 years of trying to make something even close to our app.

>>>The only competition we have is internal IT guys who think they can do it and whine to their bosses and talk them into letting them try to write it internally. We say okay. In every case like that over the last 10 years after 1 to 2 years they come back to the table and buy ours. When we ask why they tell us their IT guys couldn't do it. We are heavily regulation driven. I am not saying that anyone is not a capable coder but a man has to know his limitations ( Clint Eastwood ).

Have looked more at the SEC regs for convertible funds, due to working for a company in that line. I also had a client which provided SEC compliance reporting for most of the major brokerages.
