Took Omega over 5 years to develop and at least $50 million in development.
Nearly 1 million lines of code (including the server).
Still lacking critical portfolio analysis and charting capability.
Rina Systems will sell that licensed source code to you for about $10
million.
Otherwise, add another quarter million lines of code.
At 1000 lines of tested code per day per developer, you'll be done in 2003
with 3 developers.
Good Luck.....many have tried, many have died.
