Translating template files from VCL to .NET

[UserLS]

As far as I understand, you have an utility to do the translation, but there are a few problems.

• It is not fully automated and requires some human intervention. Also, it requires ActiveX control installed on the computer. Therefore, our users will not be able to do it by themselves. They can send their files to us, but we are talking about thousands of files, so it would take forever for us to do the conversion, which is not acceptable.
• The biggest problem there - in some instances, your template files are embedded into another binary file, which is generated by our report writer. Your utility will not be able to extract the templates, convert them and then put them back. This conversion should occur in our .NET application whenever they open the report writer file for the first time after conversion to .NET. Again, we are talking about a few thousands of users, each having potentially several dozens of report writer files in different locations, some of which they are using constantly, while other ones they might use on a yearly basis.
