Some Notes About Package

1. A well designed source package will usually have one or two classes with typically about 10 functions each which should average about 50 lines of code or less per function. Let's assume that the average module size is 1000 SLOCS.


2. Software reuse is important. Reuse means to use packages without changing any of their text.


3. Software salvage is important. Salvage means that we start with existing packages and extend them with additional packages, or modify them, as little as possible, to suit a new application.
