Alan, That's quite right. When I said ugly code I wasn't mentioning about the format of the code or its readability aspect. I was talking from theprogramming aspect. Lot's and lot's of code will look pretty goodwhen the code is simple but begins to break when it grows in complexity.
There is no good universal document which can tell you where to use which storage classes and which tells you about good and elegant code constructs which will make debugging an enjoyable proposition. I was just mentioning that.
Thanks Jana
