The leg bone is connected to the thigh bone... The new field has to be owned by Track, so everything that ever creates a Track has to be modified. That's 12 files. That's just the base layer of creating the new thing. Working it up all the way to the level of user interaction may involve at least that many or more files before it's all said and done. My original estimate was 30, and that's about right. Thirty places to make stupid typos and introduce bugs, and I surely will. It's going to take a lot longer than six minutes, but it will probably take less time than continuing to pursue the magic mind reading algorithm. Software is all about such compromises. -- D.
