I was probably unclear: I meant something more specific: - A long distance in space and time between the programmer and the user is a problem. - You're not done until someone is using your code as intended. Sometimes (not so much recently) I meet programmers who think their job is to write the code, make it compile, ship it off to testing -- and then they're done. That's an inefficient and boring way to work, IMHO. > My system and the Production systems are just different enough in > this area that there may be some gymnastics required. Ah, yes. It's good when those two to be similar, but it's not always feasible. /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <grahn@ Oo o. . . \X/ snipabacken.se> O o .
