This reminds me of some advice I was given: Programming is a statement
of intent to the computer. If you're stating something *other* then
the task you want to complete, then there is something wrong.

My problem is that I frequently find myself in a situation where I
need to solve problem A to solve problem B. For example today I just
found that SAVE can't handle COM references anywhere in the object
heap which is being serialised. So now I have to proxy all COM objects
to a hidden place where SAVE can't get to them (I used a common
block).

I really thankful that having someone else understand my code is a
secondary priority.

Thanks for the tip,

Robbie
