>>HOWEVER! nearly all my errors are due to typing mistakes (I don't speak for >my first year or so). Even if you are a genius, I find this impossible. You have never misunderstood a specification, and hence designed or coded the wrong thing? You have never maintained a program, and made the wrong correction/addition? You have never implemented an algorithm incorrectly? You have never forgotten a special test case (this can happen even with instrumentation)? You've never simply misunderstood and pickeled yourself? However ridiculous, hasn't your boss ever forced you into slap-happy all-nighters? You've never done a quick fix that never got properly tested and "slow fixed"? << What you say, I agree with. Hence my word “nearly'' which I confirm. Bart Van Bockstaele at 100574.2352@compuserve.com … On AutoPilot and Amiga all the way from Belgium NOT from Mars!…
