I remember this guy I used to work with who always copied his Assembler programs and then just threw in some code to do what was necessary....but yet he never went back and cleaned up the crap he never needed/used in that instance. And the field names were hilarious too. I'd open the program to see "FIELD3" and "FIELD4" defined and know instantly whose program it was! It was his "signature" (although I'm sure he didn't expect it to be). > With a "framework" or any collection of existing code, a more > "interesting" rudimentary sample can be produced with "fundamentals" > thrown in for good measure. :) > > No offence to Frank who I respect and like - but it's a sample I just > saw - even the most experienced of us do not separate things into > logical blocks immediately.
