In the past it was decided that it is a matter of religion what indention style you use. There were four styles for braces that were offered. A. if ( condition ) { statments ; more statements ; } B. if ( condition ) { statments ; more statements ; } C. if ( condition ) { statments ; more statements ; } D. if ( condition ) { statments ; more statements ; } I'm not sure which was the least liked but at that time A. was most popular. This time there appear to be mayn more people using the other formats especially D. Also there is much less radical flaming about the other formats. (I'm a D fan myself and I have had proponets of the other styles gain access to my directorys and either delete or cb all my source because it was "an abomination in the sight of God."). That seems to have gone away. Pat Caudill Tektronix!Tekcrl!patc Disclaimer: Obviously not everyone at Tektronix is of the same religion as myself.
