	That is an interesting debate.  It is hard to determine if a programmer
could be an engineer or not but what I have learn in my many year of
programming is that a good programmer need to know what he is programming.
That meen that to produce a good accounting package, you have to know
accounting but is that make you one?  Hard to tell.  
	I have learn electrical enginnering and now program in a research
centre in electrical research. I think I am still an engineer but I
don't consider some of my co-worker engineer who have study in computer
science.
