I really don't understand why people think this is such a big problem. Rewriting the whole program isn't a very difficult or time-consuming task (it's just a bit boring). It's not at all like starting all over. You can keep most of the old algorithms and data structures, and also copy big chunks of the code. I think doing a complete rewrite from time to time is a good thing to do anyway. It helps you to correct old, unfortunate design decisions, and give you a good opportunity to try new techniques. It is also a great way to find obscure old bugs. Tord
