Only a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT would be practical....
otherwise, the paper blizzard that TRAD would initiate, would cost an
individual who tried to sue them at least $10k before even getting a trial
date.
They (TRAD) know that.....that's partly why they nixxed the SP6 fix for
TS2000i....
but mostly because with over 1 million lines of code to review, the
contractor they hired (yep, only ONE)....probably told them it would take 6
to 9 months JUST TO REVIEW THE EXISTING CODE to become familiar with the
app, before he could EVEN BEGIN to fix it.
At $90 per hour, this would have cost CRUZ over $100k....as well as his
existing staff's time.....about $100k....
and the debugging and repair, and additional post-release support time would
have cost ANOTHER $100k.
To TRAD, $300+k NOW is a lot of money. In 1999, it was peanuts.
Moral of the story: Identify and fix your bugs early while you have your
original developers...
otherwise, for complex stuff, POST PRODUCTION bug fixes are about 10x the
original coding/testing cost.
If you review the mass of EXE and DLLs, you'll understand that TS2000i is
one complex beast.
I'd be willing to bet that NO ONE DEVELOPER understands all of it in
technical detail (code level).
