I guess that's why I prefer assmebler, PL/I, or VHDL. Assembler
forces comments to be able to figure out what you did next week.

But, but, but - - I don't know yet, what I did next week! )-;

Thanks,
Rich

I like assembly too. My comment/code ratio is about 3:1, and I include
the occasional soliloquy, math derivation, protocol description, and
ascii-art diagram. I saw some Windows source code a while back: a simple
API wound up being a score of source files, many doing nothing but
passing stuff off to others under assumed names. Each did have the
Microsoft-mandatory comment header. Under "Description of function:"
people had filled in useful things like "what it says."

Just out of curiosity, I just now went and took a look at the Linux
kernel source.

What a freakin' nightmare!

Thanks!

You don't? I do, it's all scheduled. Next week I went back to
work. ;-)

Let me try again; "...forces comments to be able to figure out what
you did, the next week."
