Yes, at Weatherhill, we were confronted by the Y2K stuff early this year because of budgeting. We used Y2KFOX for FPDOS to buy us the time to convert all the apps to VFP, which it did a fine job of - the last of the systems is running parallel for the last time this month.

Exactly.

We didn't need any; it took a couple of hours to make sure we understood exactly what needed to be done and test modifications for our app startups, a couple of hours to make sure all the batch files and shortcut references were properly modified, and another couple of hours to ensure it was working right. IOW, cost of software plus less than a day spent to read the docs, test mods and configure ~15-20 apps and write up startup procedures for people who had need of using FPDOS as a command line utility, and it bought us better than 10 months of conversion time. I'm pleased.

The price per seat a year ago was even lower, and it's clearly the exception that proves the rule.
