Back in the '90s many companies bragged about the "thousands and thousands of lines of code in X or Y program".
You seldom see those nowadays being that announcing the lines of codes is equivalent of announcing how much bloat there is in their code. Honestly, a good program does not have to be "large", but complete (or meet requirements) and be useful. One thing is for sure, I bet that in his youth, this professor never participated in the "one line program in BASIC" competition that were common the days of yore. :) -- Luis Anaya papo anaya aroba hot mail punto com "Do not use 100 words if you can say it in 10" - Yamamoto Tsunetomo
