Unfortunately no. This could be by far the worst application I have ever had
to deploy on a large scale. It runs on FoxPro, for starters. You can't
delete users without actually doing it via the SQL database, and the
"database" server relies on having a mapped R: drive (which means a
logged-in user). Absolute POS of the highest order.
