A couple of years of maintaining other people's code taught me
to write and document proterly, AND TO DOCUMENT THE DESIGN AS 
WELL AS THE CODE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made a resolution that I never wanted anyone to think the thoughts
about me that I was thinking about the people whose code I was
working on.    I hope I've lieved up to that.

Small code ?  Yes, but by design and careful thought as to what is the
parsimoneous and general approach, not small for small's sake.
Look at K&R's library with V7 (et al).  Simple but very effective 
routines.    Look at DOS libraries, rated by the number of 
functions they have, even if they are inaaproriate!
