Re: Finding Indicators Used (was: RE: MOVEA -> EVAL)

Er, you really expect me to do this?  You expect a programmer to have
to compile your program and look at the generated code to be able to
maintain it?

What ever happened to self documenting code?  Structured Programming?
Proper documentation?

If it takes me 1 or even 5 extra lines of code to achieve all three of
these, I'm for the extra code.

"Real programmers don't eat quiche" is interesting reading, and a good
chuckle, but I have never abhered to it!

Jim Langston

Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni!
