Re: MACPAC

[Raul Jager <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A very good reason to want the application unmodified is that it fills
the needs very well,  BUT, a newly designed application, if well donne
will be much better.  It takes a long time to emulate all the nuances of
a program, and you may end up with a barely acceptable imitation of the
old one.

The person who will pay for the job has the right to decide, but I feel
it will be an honest move to sujest the redesign, even if that will give
you less hours.
