===========================

Well, it will have to do. Thanks Paul!

For the last one or two years of my varied career I was listed in the firm's
phone directory as "Chief Standards Engineer". I had under some sort of
control the Quality Managers of 3 factories and laboratories.

Strictly speaking, "Quality" is defined as the ability to conform to
specified requirements. It can be statistically measured as can anybody's
performance.

But in my case I would prefer the more lax and broader definition of Quality
: The ability to serve the intended purpose.

"Reliability" is defined as Quality versus Time.

My programs, produced in retirement for a variety of reasons and purposes,
have now been available to the 'rabble' for 5 or 6 years. ;o)

Here I go again - pouring out my heart with the aid of a bottle of Valencia
red. It's supposed to be good for the arteries. It didn't do Franco any
harm. But a pity about Guenica as depicted by Pablo Picasso. He should
have done Nagosaki (which I witnessed from the air) and Hiroshima (which I
visited on foot). Unfortunately my camera had a pin-hole in the bellows but
the experience, nevertheless, profoundly influenced, you could say biassed,
my early education.
