Back in the days of DOS, Pinnacle Publications had a Clipper Advisor magazine, for which I wrote a column called Seek And Destroy. The idea was that I would present some code containing a bug and challenge the reader to detect the bug. The first few columns were easy, but as the months passed I found it increasingly difficult to come up with a non-obvious bug. This may not be further proof of my conjecture, but it is an interesting exercise. Try to write a buggy routine. Nothing obvious like an a misspelled variable name or an array-boundary error. It's got to be subtle. A.
