But high quality code that has a sound and well documented architecture can be more easily updated without messing up dependencies, whereas low quality code can be a nightmare to find let alone correct even the most trivial bug. There are always exceptions, but *in general*, it is easier (less effort, faster turnaround) to maintain high quality code. -Eric -- arctic bears - email and dns services http://www.arcticbears.com _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
