note dorko defyance,<P> Plan. Then plan some more.<P> Don't just plan in your head. Write it down. Draw pictures. Develop <A HREF="http://deming.eng.clemson.edu/pub/tutorials/qctools/flowm.htm">flow charts</A>. Think about the <A HREF="http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Data_structure">data structures</A> you'll need. Work out rough <A HREF="http://www.yourdon.com/books/msa2e/CH09/CH09.html">dataflow diagrams</A>. Think it through. (Given that it's just you working on this project alone, I wouldn't bother with a <A HREF="http://www.caam.rice.edu/~timredl/caam376/LectureNotes/Lecture27/sld001.htm">PERT/CPM analysis</A>.)<P> Set it aside for a day or two. Read it again. Plan some more.<P> Time spent planning is never wasted.<P> Good luck.<P> Cheers!<P> Brent 144745 144745
