As soon as you finally remove the "just" in your assumptions, then it can be done. But don't underestimate it. More than "just 3 files" are involved. First you need to develop a systematic plan for it (which I did last year). Then you see how much time and work it will cost. Then - after evaluating price/benefit - you might end up where I did. Earning money and making a vacation with you wife, rather than wasting a year of your life. It is up to anybody's own decision. Just a warning. "Just" is not enough in this case.
