Ted, Regarding: Millennium - I don't know if they have sold any or not, but I can check. Regardless, I have not been shown, or seen one other press release or news article that states a year 2000 project was successfully completed and successfully tested. I am still waiting for anyone to come forth with one. Intentionally misleading - No, I did not mean to suggest that you intended to mislead anyone, but I have to say that when the numbers are 70 / 30 and you say CSGI is comparable to the others, then when we find out that the true numbers are 95 / 5, then they still can't just be comparable to the others. PTUS & SEEC - All I know is what the people at those companies have said. CSGI doesn't have a problem saying that not one line of code is converted manually, but PTUS and SEEC both indicated that after the conversion is complete, some manual intervention is needed. I guess that we will just have to agree to disagree about this. You say that CSGI's tool is comparable to these other vendors and I believe that their tool may have some advantages. However, even if their tool is similar, once contracts are announced this stock should move significantly higher. I think we agree on the last point. >>I'm getting tired of this game. Do you know of any others?<< yes, here is one. Given that you have twelve metal balls of identical size, one of which is heavier or lighter than the others, explain how, using a balance scale only three times, you can determine which of the balls differs in weight from the others and whether it is lighter or heavier.

Ted, as usuall thank you for your technological comments on this issue. Why would you give a company say 5 or 10 % of your code to convert in a test pilot situation if it didn't represent 100% of the programs capabilities. Wouldn't that be deceiving yourself and or upper mgt on how well a firm can handle your situation? Are you saying that a block of code in any given order might not represent the challenges that a full block of code would and if so what is the purpose of the test pilot then? It would seem to me that date related lines of code are date related lines and that most programmers held the same format all the way through. Are you saying that the format of these lines change as the program progresses? I guess I don't understand how a block of test code could change from the main block. This would mean that a CO could convert the test block but not the main block of code. Is this correct? Please enlighten us!! Thanks in advance ! Ric D.
