with no source code?.. sorry, but I consider that scope to be *highly*
unlikely.. yes, your opinion and experience might be different, but I've
been dealing with PdoxDOS apps, from all over the world, 24/7, for almost 20
years now.. and apps w/o source code are few and far between.. not much of
a "mountain"..

absolutely.. but the effort would be equally bigger, because each platform
is comlpetely different.. but those other platforms rely on compled exe
apps.. plus, there are many more of them, than PdoxDOS..in that world there
*is* a possible market..
