The last program I wrote that was supposed to do stuff had a bug in it.

Ahh! You think to hire him and acquire this proprietary code for yourself,
thus keeping it from the rest of us? Pretty sneaky there Jeff.

Maybe we should start an Open Source Project for an application that does
stuff, and then everyone can contribute something. Kinda like the swiss
army knife of applications...Would be interesting to see what the
application would look like and do..

That sounds like a good idea. Let me start...

Okay, now that we have a firm start, let's see the rest of you get off your

make it a computed GoSub and throw in a Goto or two for good measure; BTW,
there will of course be no consistent coding standards used for this, right?

I once read a great quote that pointed out that every program has at
least one bug and at least one redundant instruction. Therefore, by a
process of recursion (or is it induction?), every program can be reduced
to a single operation - that doesn't work !!

Can I contribute the really useful error messages. I'm good at writing
them. I had high acclaim for "Can't do stuff right now" and was nearly
nominated for a Grammy Award for "Get lost, I'm busy".
I feel my contribution to the project would be invaluable.

Now, that depends on one's interpretation.
it could easily be
Private Sub Repeat()
Lather
Rinse
End Sub
which, of course, _does_ have advantages.

Especially if we make Lather and Rinse recursive in themselves. :-)

Doing that doesn't always involve that, unless there's a bit of this in
as well. If that's the case, then that is no worse than this is !!

I haven't a clue what you mean, but it's fun typing rubbish, and fun is
what this thread's for ...
