I suppose whether it's actually bad or only apparently so doesn't really make a difference to you. Put your blinders on and carefully attach whatever is needed. I hope you got your bargepole handy in case you need to touch that code ;)

Peter, thanks! :) that is comprehensive. Holger

yes, that was exactly what I told them. I now agreed to the compromise, that the quick and dirty will be hard bind to the version it is built for. That means that this tool will not work in previous or later versions. If the tool must exist in a later version it must be discussed again. that's sounds reasonable to me.

That's it. Some of the pieces of Bach cannot be topped in their beauty (and even in their complexity) regardless if they some kind of mathematical/ logical or not. Another one who wrote really impressive pieces is Paganini. Incredible hard to play. Especially the ones for violin. What I meant was - it's some kind of very similar thoughts - playing guitar and writing a program is close together. On the other hand, if any team would work like musicians have to do when they play together (and really want the piece of music to sound like something special), I am sure, software would have another level of quality.
