ok, i can't stand it any more...back in the 60's a fellow named ascher opler (i think that was his name) defined a kludge as an ill-chosen assortment of parts making up a distressing whole...for more details (given access, of course, to a suitable archive), you might wish to look up a series of articles datamation ran on the kludge komputer korporation some time from 10/64 to 5/66 (there were, as i recall, at least three, maybe six, articles in the series)...some say it's from the old high german word kloege, whose meaning i'll spare you... cheers -- mike
