just because you can't see the source, doesn't make it any better.

the worst code i ever worked with was icem/ddn, a cad program
that was a mixture of fortran, c and c++. complete with holorith
data, computed-gotos, overlays, and holorith data.

that was also the program, of all that i've worked on, that 
customers liked most.
