Is there a way to use the UT to make this a joint project of all UT members? (Sort of like a smalltime Linux? ). If it is possible I will e-mail the code as it stands now. What do you think?

Microsoft at one time had the FoxPro Migration Kit on their web site that had an updated conversion program that got around those problems. I haven't seen it since the web site was redesigned when VFP 6.0 was released, but maybe I just missed it.
