I think you and I are agreed: the software itself is bug free. There seems to be debate over whether a bug in the code's context -- requirements, the engine, the OS, etc. -- qualifies as a bug in the software. I think it doesn't, but I can understand the point of people who think that's a useless distinction. In fact I'm likely to agree, but I still maintain that the code itself is bug free ;-)

It's funny that this all started as a joke, but I'm actually experiencing this as we speak: the windowshade control I released. I think the code is clean, but some people are having troubles with it. I can't replicate their errors, and there are others using it without troubles as well. Is there a context issue? Am I wrong that the code is clean? I'm stuck trying to figure that out. <sigh>

As for my posts referring to your code, Geoff, I hoped I had made it sufficiently clear already that I was using it as a jumping off point to elaborate on the issues of what is a bug and differences in user experiences, and nothing at all to do with your code which I understood and accepted in the context in which you presented it.

As far as my programming prowess is concerned, I hope it takes more than one line of code to judge that!

You are too modest <g>
LOL

Geoff
