My boss has asked me to rewrite an application in C#.
Original application is in VB6
10+ years old
Was originally a DOS application given a VB6 makeover
Some stats on the project from assessing the scope of the job:
Processing Module A
700 lines of module variables
16.5K lines
No comments
Processing Module B (Very similar to Processing Module A, fortunately)
600 lines of module variables
17K lines
No comments
Main Form
350 lines of module variables
10K lines
Main process loop: 1000 lines
Some comments found - Result!
Main app:
Forms: 16
Modules: 4
Class Modules: 19
Support files (over 3 DLLS):
Forms: 4
Modules: 10
Class Modules: 11
Time scale: One week.

So why are you wasting time posting here?
If you don't sleep, eat, drink, or take rest breaks, you should be able to do it!

Well, you could at least have documented the modules.

Why does your boss tell you how long a project should take?
He can tell you how long he'd like it to take but I see it as:
1. Customer asks Sales
2. Sales asks PM
3. PM asks senior devs/architect - initial estimates with included risk from the devs' experience.
4. PM answers Sales with %-age risk included, based on how scared the devs looked. Decision on initial team size maybe (how many available, how much can be done in parallel, available sprints).
5. Sales answers customer then bills if customer agrees.
You skip devs' estimate or skip PM adding in risk, you're screwed, been there, done that. Project was on time but 30%+ over budget. Would have been more if the devs on it would have actually told the truth about the extent of their overtime.

I've done this before, it took some time because it was originally written incredibly sh*tty.

Ireland = HIBERNIA
current = I
Ireland currently loses = HIBERNA
time = T
charged = ION
HIBERNATION - rest of the winter.

You got the solution first so well done.
It wasn't that hard, but I thought it was a beautifully rounded and framed clue.

I agree, well worded (& if I hadn't spent so long typing the solution, I would have been first with the answer  )
It's the first one I've got to before it's been answered this week - work, eh?
Regards, Stewart

Yeah, sorry about that, but also the reason I post the answer first, then type out the solution.
