>So which MSFT representative do you believe? Prashant Sridharan? Ari Bixhorn? More importantly, why is MSFT taking diametrically opposed positions on the same issue?????

Somebody had to have built the converter (or otherwise take responsibility for it - I think it's actually a third party that did build it) - they're not going to stand for saying that the thing is worthless <g>...

It's absolutely silly to think that one should upgrade any application to .Net without re-writing it. Even if the code ran it'd be a train wreck...

And what is 95% anyway? Trying to find the remaining 5% will take as long as a rewrite. Ha...
