Would you really advocate taking all existing RPG III source and 
converting it to IV? If you have hundreds or thousands of them? Just to 
do it?

Get Linoma's tools and convert them as you touch them - then make your 
changes. Or run CVTRPGSRC if you can't spend the money - although it is 
well-spent for Linoma's stuff, IMO.

People have to justify the ROI on this kind of thing - there is no ROI 
to just doing things that work just fine, for the sake of a theory.
