That's the manual to which I referred.  It meant something else to my
mind when I first saw your post.  But, after further thought, my
previous thought was faulty.


My first boss after college would draw a picture to describe the
difference between a bug and a feature.

I can't draw so a word will have to do (at less than a thousand words)!

BUG:  draw stick figure.


FEATURE:  Add pants, tie, gloves, shoes and a top hat.


MORAL:  A feature is a bug all dressed up and ready to go out.
