Can you expand on what you mean about 'instrument each method and
function' to trace the program flow?

One challenge I have had at this job is when I do a build is to make
sure I have all of the programs.  Previous developers like to share the
programs but if you are not pathed correctly the project manager gets
lost and I have dig through the hard drive trying to find the little
prgs all over the place. Such fun!
