sysdepCallMethod

[jim hopper]

Godmar,

perhaps this is a way we could cooperate here.  i can write a unit 
test like this, and send it to news list.  then perhaps people could 
critique it to make sure i have gotten the data structures correct 
when packing the arguments.

thanks jim

At a recent computer software engineering course in the US, the participants
were given an awkward question to answer.  "If you had just boarded an
airliner and discovered that your team of programmers had been responsible
for the flight control software, how many of you would disembark
immediately?"
