Do you know, what happened with the original programer? Is he still programming? :)

>It's not the worse way to name variables. I supported an application where original developer used variavbles name like m.f*ckyou and user would call and complain that program is cursing her. It turned out that she got message "Variable 'f*ckyou' not found".

>>Another problem is, that not all variables are declared. This also contradicts with my style, because I declare each used variable explicitly (though it's unnecessary). I also use l+type prefix, thought this is also obsolete, becase I also use m. to distinquish vars from table fields...
