Hi all!

Inspired by what Mr. Gary Capmbell (CCed to this message) wrote in a previous 
message to the fc-solve-discuss list, I have written an essay on what makes a 
software program "high-quality". (And by induction also Solitaire solvers.). 
You can find it: 

http://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/computers/high-quality-software/

A browsable HTML version is available on the directory at the bottom, but 
there are other formats. I'm announcing it here for comments before I make 
the document public, and publicise it.

Any comments, including silly typos are welcome. If you wish to be credited 
for helping writing the document send me your desired name or psedunym, and 
how to hyperlink it (homepage URL, blog URL, email, no link, etc.).

Regards,

	Shlomi Fish

The bad thing about hardware is that it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't.
The good thing about software is that it's consistent: it always does not
work, and it always does not work in exactly the same way.
