- Howdy friends,
-
- I have been approached by a company to write a generic FoxBase to
- `C' converter. The user-interface needs to be converted to "printf"
- kind of statements. The database calls need to be converted to
- db-vista calls. Efficiency doen't seem to be an important
- consideration.
-
- So far I used to program on per hour basis. This is the first time
- I have been asked to bid for a project. I do not how many man-hours
- this work would involve. Since this is my first break, I do not
- wish to loose this contract. Would the experienced readers on the
- net advice me on how much I should bid for this contract? Any
- kind of advise/strategy is appreciated.
-
- Thank you for your help.
