>Hi Bonnie.
>How are you? I feel like there was a bait & trap set for Kevin and I wondered along and stepped in it. I remember when I used to program in C, mostly in C5 & C6. I used several sets of libraries written by other people to help me along in communications & user interface. I got some flack from a couple of programmers where I worked because, of course, "Real Programmers" can do it all. And do it in Assembly, if needed. Well, it would be nonsense to say that I didn't know the nuts & bolts about C or about communication. I still worked under the hood, and mad a living doing it, but why re-invent something that others have already done, and done well?

I agree Glen. When it comes down to it, making money and getting quality products out quickly is the focus. I NEVER wanna re-invent the wheel and deal with people who do all the time. I'm not saying a "real programmer" writes his own. I'm just saying that the cost/time benefit in the long run, I think is a better way to go buy writing your own.
