People, like those of last assignment, who have invested lots of money and time into developing a successful product with a large client base. The clients are also hearing of the Fox deadend and are asking when the application will be ready for the .Net stage. Rewriting the application would require 3 years or more, where with eT compiler that could reduce the time to possibly less then a year. Plus add several enhancements that have pledge the application: 2Gig DBF limit as one of the big ones. If there is the ability mix language modules written in different languages (which I believe there is) then migrating the application would be much easier.
