From the Wacky side......................... It was reported on the SGI thread that their was 105 million lines of code in Xfree86. I opened my mouth and said, no way. Someone politely said that is sounded reasonable to him. I said where do we go to recursively cat files to wc and count. He obliged with a pointer. I of course had to know the answer. Lines of code ???? And the answer is..................... lines words characters 1144630 3958569 33079792 Now based on a small inspection of code, I guess that up to 10 to maybe 15% of the lines counted are blank or have only a single brace. I did not see many comments. This result was created by cating all files determined by the file command to be C programs. The files cated were only in the programs directory of xc. Their are also lots and lots of font files and such that were not counted. I am humbly self corrected. Tom Watson tosiwme

As a point of interest, we used to run Microsoft Word on AT&T UNIX PC's.
