REPRESENTATIVE PROGRAM FOR ENCRYPTION TECHNOLOGY

In a number of popular computer languages including C, C++ and Perl, placing
an exclamation mark (!) in front of an object negates its value. Hence the
use of the expression '!Effective' is immediately read by any computer
programmer as 'Not Effective'  - not quite the intended message.
