Harry,
 
Given the source code, modifying any program to make better use of an advanced environment is not necessarily as difficult as you suggest. However, without the source it may as well be impossible.

from what little I understand of Xy4's architecture, changing anything in the way it addresses memory would entail a profound restructuring. That job, alone, you would not find anyone to do - - assuming it could
 be done - - for under $100K. The reason Xy4 is so good is that a genius has programmed it
not like anyone else would do it. It is all based on remarkable efforts to defeat the normal.


Oh, I didn't realize that.



 Let me put it in terms that might make more sense to you. If, during the war, the entire works of Heidegger had been destroyed, and if the philosopher was called upon, in the 1950s, to write his books
 and lectures again, and just from memory, well, that would be the equivalent, in intellectual labor, to what you are asking for here.



Heidegger was trying to "defeat the normal" for sure. Only not in a good way.
