And I'll do it for less than that.  The anlysis isn't the hard part.  It's
the large amount of real conversion work that is hard.  Any takers for some
analysis?  I'd say that anything I'd do in the analysis area would be miles
over the heads of most of the people that HP could/would bring to any table.
This kind of work is NOT operating system stuff, it's business processes and
procedures followed by alternative technical ways to make it all happen.
COBOL/Image/MPE/iX to COBOL/Eloquence/HPUX is very doable but is that the
best approach for some companies?
