Fortunately, the code was not written by anyone over here. It was sold to our client by a Korean company. Our client moved the project to us, unsatisfied with the ones who previously 'developed' it.

So Americans blame Indian developers, and Indians blame Korean developers .. ? Ahhh, Globalization :D

so do the Koreans blame the American developers closing the loop or are there other countries involved?

I feel your pain...Espesially about the not documentaion. Not a single page. 1000s of source files, but no documents. Not. Even. One.
My pity for you. :sigh:

Don't be silly. American programmers are perfect.

I had a friend who was one of Lockheed's senior programmers on the orbiter mission. He pointed out that Americans don't use the metric system which allowed him to develop his theory that saboteurs from Canada were really to blame. :-D

A complaint was that the connection drops out exactly at 12 in the night. Half a day is gone and then I find this gem comment with relevant code:
I know it won't make you feel better, but this is a common problem here. One of the most common time formats we accept is time since midnight with a some nanosecond level of accuracy I always forget.... anyhow, because the time includes no date, you sometimes have to do a little extra math when it comes to elapsed time... or not as in some cases.
elapsedTime=currentTime-lastTime; // get elapsed time since last pass if (elapsedTime<0) exit(1); // we passed midnight, panic, exit!That is more common than you would believe, sometimes even with the comments intact. Of course worse still are those who leave off the if statement at all, and accept time as gospel. When you see time move backwards in data review, you know someone forgot to handle the midnight roll-over. :sigh: Of all the time errors you can imagine, midnight roll-over I have fixed more often than any other. :sigh:_________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

And I thought it was just me. That makes me feel better. :)
