Thanks for the pointer, that was actually interesting. No one looks at most old code bases unless they are changing something in particular, that's how old bugs

Thanks for the pointer, that was actually interesting. No one looks at most old code bases unless they are changing something in particular, that's how old bugs hang around forever. Commercial software companies of the world, open source your old crappy utilities and the world may improve them. Of course you don't do that because you are embarassed at their poor quality. Based on my own personal experience :-). You should have seen the source code of sybase sql server.
