	I guess you can break them down to modules if you like. :) Modulization
will greatly help you to program, debug, maintain & price your work (say,
$500/module). :) It's somewhat like to "normalize" your program as to
normalize database tables -- if you can break a function into independant
modules, break it.
	Thanks.
