PROGRAM  NAME AND #:    
                                             
Purpose:  To guide you in conducting an effective code review.

General:  As you complete each review step, check that item in the space
to the left.  Complete the checklist for one program unit before you
start to review the next.

__ Complete
    Verify that the code covers all the design.
__ Includes
   Verify that includes are complete
__ Initialization:  Check variable and parameter initialization:
   __ - at program initiation
   __ - at start of every loop
   __ - at function/procedure entry 
__ Calls: Check function call formats:
   __ - pointers
   __ - parameters
   __ - use of '&'
__ Names: Check name spelling and use:
   __ - is it consistent? 
   __ - is it within declared scope?
   __ - do all structures and classes use '.' reference?
__ Strings: Check that all strings are
   __ - identified by pointers and
   __ - terminated in NULL.
__ Pointers: Check that 
   __ - pointers are initialized NULL
   __ - pointers are deleted only after new, and
   __ - new pointers are always deleted after use.
__ Output Format: Check the output format:
   __ - line stepping is proper
   __ - spacing is proper
__ {} Pairs: Ensure that the {} are proper and matched
__ Logic Operators:
   __ - Verify the proper use of ==, =, ||, and so on.
   __ -Check every logic function for proper ().
__ Line by Line Check:Check every LOC for
   __ - instruction syntax and
   __ - proper punctuation.
__ Standards:  Ensure that the code conforms to the coding standards.
__ File Open and Close: Verify that all files are
