Set aside a couple of weeks when you have no hope
of making any money and have nothing better to do. :-(

Cheers,

David

P.S. The indenting is pretty important. You have to be
anal about it. I would get a template of a program you
know has got this right and use this religiously. This
was the most tedious part of the conversion for me,
since I also want to be able to read the documentation
in the file, and I wanted that to look nice.

The other thing that really slowed me down was fixing
all the documentation that was obviously wrong, now that
I had a chance to actually read it. :-(
