On the other hand: The source code of "Word for Windows" made by the MICROS~1 corporation contains the word 'fuck' three (!) times! ./Opus/asm/wordgrep.asm:; BP is used as always, the other registers are free to fuck with. ./Opus/asm/wordgrep.asm: je another_fucking_out_of_range_jump ./Opus/asm/wordgrep.asm:another_fucking_out_of_range_jump: What kind of business professionalism does _that_ inspire? ;-) Imagine what comments you could find in current programs made by MICROS~1 when... yes, _if_ you could ever get the source code from them. :-) Joke aside. I would not treat comments that seriously. It's much more important that source code is present and of high quality. Developers are real humans. From time to time, they do stupid things, and one of the least important stupid things is leaving such a comment in the source code. Just don't put too much emphasize in it. By the way, I've checked my local FreeBSD v8 source tree and didn't find the comment you've mentioned. Can you tell _where_ (which particular OS, version, file, line) I can find it? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
