Why not?  Didn't you rewrite the code to compile your danse tournament 
rankings?  I know you only did it for yourself, but that was business 
logic, even if you weren't using WebSphere, J2EE, Weblogic or some big 
platform like that.

You have to take extra steps to make sure it works.  For example, back 
in the days of Windows 3.1, you had to use the Pascal calling convention 
for your functions in order to make sure that they could interact with 
other modules.  (Maybe it's still that way, I haven't touched a C 
program in 15 years.)
