Ok, so are we *all* willing to admit that the only acceptable way to format a program is the way in K&R? *And* the way in all the proprietary source I've ever seen. Can you say "The phone company even has a monopoly on source code format?" I knew you could. :-) No, we're not going to say that K&R are gods, just lesser dieties. And, although that book packs more information on the C language into 128 pages than most books three times its size, nothing is perfect. I stand by my formatting style as readable, clear, and easy for a newcomer to understand. (As for my *programming* style, well, silly is a good word) -- ********************************* * * * Jeff Rife * * ihnp4!uiucuxc!fthood!jrife * * * * "Gene Simmons never had a * * personal computer when * * he was a kid." * * --Berke Breathed * * * *********************************
