Archie Software? Error Localization Tool for Software Testing Is Named after Archie
From our roving reporter, Betina Silber, Archie Software "is named after Archie Goodwin, the assistant to Rex Stout’s fictional detective Nero Wolfe. The basic idea is that, under Wolfe’s direction, Archie does all the work required to localize the crime to a specific suspect, then Wolfe
uses his superior intelligence to solve the crime."
This software "presents a new error localization tool, Archie, that accepts a specification of key data structure consistency constraints, then
generates an algorithm that checks if the data structures satisfy the constraints...." Click here to read the full abstract from the Laboratory for Computer Science, MIT.

Archie Goodwin & Maverick
Sun 31 May 2009
Speaking of Nero, it was my good fortune that I began reading Rex Stout in the late 1950s, when I was in my middle teens and also pigging out on a dozen or more TV Western series a week.
Why was this a lucky break for me? Because one of those Western series saved me from misunderstanding Archie Goodwin.
If you were following the Wolfe saga during the Hammett-Chandler era when the novels and novellas were first coming out, you might easily have tried to assimilate Archie to the legion of wisecracking PI/first person narrators of the time, and then rejected the character when you sensed what a poor fit that was.
Even so astute a critic as John Dickson Carr, writing in 1946, referred to Archie as "insufferable" and a "latter-day Buster Brown."
But if you were fortunate enough to discover Stout in the late Fifties, at a time when millions of Americans including myself were watching Maverick every Sunday evening, you might have recognized Archie Goodwin and Bret Maverick as soul brothers.
You might have credited Rex Stout with having created in prose the Great American Wise ass prototype which James Garner brought to perfection on film. You might have longed to see one of Stout's novels filmed with Orson Welles as Wolfe and Garner as Archie. At least I did. What a shame that it never happened!
