and how many lines are in the function?

Sorry, I depict it that way because that's the way it was when I 
programmed in C in the 1980s.  Admittedly, I am ignorant of how it 
has evolved since then; however, whatever front end utilities may 
have been added, I assume C syntax is still C syntax.

So, since I am beyond my knowledge base, my suggestion would be to 
put stock in what Opie & Tom McGrath have reported regarding their 
productivity gains using Run Rev.
