Introduction: Over the years, the software development community at large has gotten a whole host of valuable information about project management from good old Big Blue (IBM)... I should clarify that, valuable information on how NOT to manager a project. For fun, I decided to resurrect one of their worst ideas ever; K-LOC (or more appropriately, paying programmers based on K-LOC). The AnalogX K-LOC Calculator is the exact opposite of PCalc, my programmers calculator - this has almost no real world application, but it is fun for the number crunchers out there who want some sort of metric about the project. Sure, the metric is completely arbitrary, but hey, you can feed it into a spreadsheet! heheh... Actually, I would say that K-LOC does have it's uses (a simple way to measure project complexity, perhaps), but there aren't too many. AnalogX K-LOC Calculator is a free tool that can scan any number of files, any wildcard extension, and even recursively check subdirectories. It returns not only the total project K-LOC rating, but the average file K-LOC rating and total file size of the project as well!
