I don't understand where the outsourcing comes into this. The
original post
mentions nothing about outsourcing, the first time it's mentioned
is when
Jon Paris said that it "appears to be an outsourcing project". How?
Some of us see more than the question. Examine the signature on the
original append:
Mahesh Pawar,
Mumbai,India,
Perhaps he is an employee of the company that owns the system rather
than an outsource grunt but it seems more likely to be the reverse.
I realise it's not the "fault" of the questioner that his company has
bid, and been accepted, for a job and then assigns unqualified
personnel to the task but I for one won't answer any questions that
"appear" to be from such sources. There are many indicators in the
text that either makes it obvious or supplies enough oddities to
raise suspicion. For me a false-positive is enough to trash the
append. I can see from other appends that I'm not alone in this view.
I know I shouldn't, but I assumed it was coursework.
Even if it is course work the answer should not be provided as code.
Name the op-codes or BIFs necessary. Explain the process but let them
work the implementation out for themselves. How else will they learn?
People THINK they learn by copying but the reality is they don't
UNDERSTAND.

Simon Coulter.
