Hi all,
Here's the definition of "kluge" or "kludge," gleaned from The Free
Dictionary:
n. Slang
1. A system, especially a computer system, that is constituted of poorly
matched elements or of elements originally intended for other applications.
2. A clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[From ironic use of earlier kluge, smart, clever.
Hope this helps.
Sandi

Hi all,
Not sure how to spell it. I've been on Google and it doesn't seem to come
up. Maybe one of you computer geeks can enlighten us as to spelling?
As for definition, a kluge or kluge is a solution to a programming task
that is clumsy or put together badly. It's like putting your car engine
together with chewing gum and bailing wire. It's malarkiface, something
foolish or amusingly stupid made by man, a combination of malarky and
artifice.
