>Good point -- I agree it is a meaningless number. Apparently the client is doing a survey and has requested the number -- we have done a number of systems for the client and are working on a large project right now. We'll be glad to do whatever they ask, but we will emphasize how meaningless the number really is!

We've had other threads on this. If you get paid by line, you need to copy a text version of 'War and Peace' (all commented out, of course), into some dark, discrete place in the code :)
