Think of all the disk space saved!!!!! Also, we could define another one for newline, since it currently takes two characters. } #flame-off I think that two spaces makes it easier to read. The reason that newspapers and magazines don't do it is because they want to fit as much advertising in as possible, so they don't "waste" space. -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins) genrad!mit-eddie!rh or... rh@mit-ee (via mit-mc)
