    Just spent a day trawling through a load of legacy programs written in Retrieve 4GL, where the original programmer could not decide on a coding convention. :mad: If I never see that code again, it will be too soon . I'm feeling a little off colour now X|

            You are probably not the first one to go through this code.

              I'm working on a system written by an absolute moron - I described it to my boss as like having to clear up someone else's vomit!

                Me too. I write it myself about 4 years ago.

                Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                  I wasn't aware we had hired someone, but welcome to the office anyway.
