I need to convert a program that was

I stand by what I wrote previously. From the statement above, it appears to
that it is Gary's /preference/ to NOT code /free code, not that it was a
shop standard.

I think that Gary is not the one you should fire...
it seems that Gary is just following the shop's standards.
The failing is the shop's management, they need to allow Gary to broaden
his skillset.

So, sjl, if Gary worked in "your" shop...perhaps it would be you that
should be fired. :-)
I think the quotes that follow many of Birgitta's posts sums it up best...
"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance." (Derek Bok)
"What is worse than training your staff and losing them? Not training them
and keeping them!"
