I am trying to get a rough idea of how much time it might take an
experienced FutureBasic programmer to recompile an old Mac program and
change the menus to make it OSX compatible.  I don't have enough
experience with Mac programming or FB to know what are typical numbers
for such a conversion.  The program was written in FBII on the Mac OS
7.0 operating system and there are about 14,000 lines of code.

I realize the time depends a lot on how the original program was
written, but I was hoping that some FB programmers on this list could
give me some estimated ranges based on how long it took them to
convert their old mac programs to run on OSX.  My email is
cpu1122@... if you prefer to email me directly.  Thanks.
