	From the response I got to my earlier posting, it is clear that
my meaning has been mis-understood.  My intention was NOT to ridicule
scientists who write and distribute software.  Rather, it was to point
out that it would be to the advantage of everybody involved if those
people with formal training in programming who write software for the
biological sciences were to get together and 1) let people know what is
already available and 2) get together and write some standards which
would make our lives a bit easier.
