I've been wanting to remake CATO forever but have had many other hobby oriented programming tasks that have been higher priority. I'm fairly positive that if Jeff were to never return, that I, or some other individual would carry on with a new CATO. CATO 6.0.0 has been adequate for my immediate needs, but if there was suddenly no CATO, I know it would become a very high priority on my project list.

As long as the exporter program is available it would not be difficult to duplicate the CATOBASE program using the current CATOBASE MDB files and CommishJoes exporter CSV files as a guide. Creating the html program will take a bit more time but can also be done with out difficulty. If Jeff were not to come back this could be duplicated, or if Mr. Cato did not want to pursue keeping the program active maybe he could publish the source or allow someone to take over the project. I am a programmer but I work on the AS/400 and green screens, but I have worked with teams that create html docs from my files and I have taken html classes at work, I may be able to work on this type of project but I am by no means an expert with VB or HTML.
