Okay, I will reset the clock on the list server so we are now Friday.
>From the original question, any Friday in the 1970s or 80s.

Don't forget to use 71 character lines (if I remember correctly and probably
don't, column 72 was for an X to say this line is extended for at least
Fortran and the rest were for sequencing your card deck in case they fell
off where you put them and spread themselves over the floor).

Anybody who knows the correct answer has *really* dated themselves.
For the rest of you, I am going back 32 years, the first and last year
I used a card punch.

So David, bundle up all the responses from the arslist, bind them,
Pick a number(as recommended by your peers, either random number or
An inaccurate calculated one), attach a printout of the .def file and
All supporting code from mid-tier, integrations etc. and hand it in :-)

p.s. has everyone requested funding for the BMC UserWorld in Miami?

Subject: Re: "Lines of code" in Remedy?

Geez . . . no one has used the "lines of source code" (SLOC) measurement
since the 1980's!  It was a poor metric then with monolithic languages
(Cobol, Fortran, etc.), and it's an even poorer metric today using
object-oriented software and N-tier architectures.

But you may still need to provide a valid number.  Can anyone from Remedy
provide a ballpark SLOC metric by application?
