Lots of the non-AT&T programs I've seen posted are horribly written--not all, but LOTS. But then, by no means is all AT&T code badly written either. There's good AND bad code everywhere. There are good AND bad programmers everywhere. Even code that originally was "good" can be ruined down the line by "bad" programmers who decide to modify ("improve") it, then do it badly or just plain wrong, and then distribute the result. --Lauren--
