Scotty,
Sounds like you're on the right track. But isn't that always the case
when you come in late to a project? I don't know how many times I've
found myself in a similar situation - it really needs to be rewritten
but time and/or financial constraints don't allow it.
But as long as you've got it working right, you're the hero! :)
