>To the grand parent: you're not supposed to look at generated code, if you have changes you're supposed to re-generate it.

Generated code? What do you mean? (I have no familiarity with VB6 at all. I have written quite a bit of code in C, Python, and MATLAB). Besides, all this was handwritten (I eventually had a conversation with the code's original author while at a party). The guy was crazy enough to write all of that by hand. I genuinely think the effort made him a little unhinged.

And of course he could have been lying...



"Generated code? What do you mean? (I have no familiarity with VB6 at all."

I think the parent is referring to generated COBOL code.
