Nope, not for a compiler, for most anything. I used to get guys who'd ask me
to write a horse handicapping program or something of the sort - often for a
whole $100. $50 K used to give them a wakeup. But that's only $50 per hour
for 1,000 hours - 6 months, and $50 billing per hour means $16 per hour to
the programmer. That's really cheap. REALLY cheap.

I quote that to do a database transfer from something weird to MS Access for
example.
