Here, here!  After spending a very frustrating day on a "2-3 hour job",
I want to say: write good documentation, too. Write an overview of the
program, and each major function.  If you print the source code, put
tabs on the pages and include a table of contents and maybe a "cflow"
output.  My client "wasted" some bucks today because of all the reading
and paper-shuffling I had to do.
