They do it, as they can save a lot of time by planning their code. First you
do a flowchart, check the logic and then do the programming.

Think about building a house without a plan - first you set up the wall and
then you think there could be an window and there and there. Then you break
holes for windows into the wall ... and then your wall collapses ...

If my health would be more reliable I'd have done this long ago. But I also
would like to have Klaus' inside the boat as he was the guy who invented VDR
to the linux world. (OK, I know - having values is obsolete in this century
of american hegemony).
