Hi David,

>Sounds like a case study on how to not do O-O development. *g*

I am terribly afraid of big company lawyers [part of the other programmers were retrained employees of the company HAL was supposed to be one step in front of].

At least I heard my favorite line for self-proclaiming cluelessness:
"This code works! You can copy it!" said about a few lines already in the project<g>
