It seems as though all the programs I am asked to modify are vintage
Windows code containing at least one 10+ page switch statement.  Yet
I've never heard about "message crackers".  Can these be applied
retroactively without all the hassle necessary if the code were to be
rewritten using a framework like MSF or OWL?
