But if we do not clearly understand what others have done, we will not know if our new ideas are better or not. So examination of the work of others (both the code and the papers) are important and will save a programmer many years of frustration. >Regards, Reinhard. > >P.S.: I would never hand out any code snippet to anyone, who tries to stay >anonymous. It is so easy to update your profile. Another thing that I think is a terrible mistake is to start with a simple beginner program and modify it. This is especially true of many of the simple programs that are loaded with tons of global variables. These are bad designs fundamentally, and will handicap the programs when they want to take big steps forward.
