So the *goal* is 10 days without breaking down. Lets hope these soldiers can do their job in less than 10 days then. Sad to see that the quality of software is not important as long as it is cheap. I think it comes from that everybody *expects* programs to crash. It reminds me of an error message I used to get in "good old" Win 3.11: "Error: No Error" or this strip: http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=19990302 I just hope that things will change before something really bad happens. -- Preben Randhol �For me, Ada95 puts back the joy in programming.�
