Don't laugh, that is what a lot of Windows programming firms aimed for:

Start a small software firm.
Give your employees stock options.
Make a very useful utility.
Become popular.
Your stock value climbs.
Microsoft buys out your company at your stock value's peak. Retire.

Then the .com frenzy started, but that wasn't as successful.

There may be a cottage industry here. Code up a front end, enhance it in your spare time over a year or two so it has most of the useful
features.

        Then start giving it away. Pretty soon Quest will buy you out.
