Tim,
I think in the context of this list, you are using the term reverse
engineering appropriately. I think it was Joe "Omega Man" Krutsinger who
originally offered to "reverse engineer" indicators that people on the list
were interested in.
One of Joe's talents is "looking at an indicator on a screen and then trying
to replicate the indicator from scratch". He does a good job of it. Calling
this reverse engineering is appropriate, since Joe doesn't have access to
the code that created the indicator. Another use of the term is where
someone has access to the machine code and figures out what the source code
was that created that code. Another use is replicating the functionality of
an integrated circuit.
Bottom line: your use of the term was fine. I think Joe reverse engineered
the indicators by looking at them and creating EL code that would duplicate
the indicator.

| Hi folks...
|
| Someone pointed out privately that I might not understand

| on a screen and then
| trying to replicate the indicator from scratch is not the
| same as 'reverse
| engineering.' Sorry if my mis-use of this term caused any confusion.
