Niklas Ulvinge wrote: What's the purpose of code that doesn't have a purpose? To make programmers that doesn't have a purpose look like they have a purpose. The purpose of that is to justify unnecessary education that no one will ever use, except for writing bugs that implode to a CListCtrl. :-D -- Rog

I thought out two answers: 1. To have fun 2. To get knowledge (usually in programming) I like the first. But at the same time I do the second. Isn't programming the best thing in the world? Niklas Ulvinge aka IDK

I thought code without purpose is what VB coders wrote... (Yup. I just made a disparaging VB joke. Pigs do fly.) regards, Paul Watson South Africa Colib and WebTwoZero. K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

Not really deep - just a run-of-the-mill paradox. There is of course no such thing. Not "no such thing" as "code that doesn't have a purpose" we've all seen plenty of that, but "no such thing" as "the purpose of code that doesn't have a purpose" Steve T
