Leaving them as tabs allows anyone to use whatever tabstops > they want (four? eight? two?). Unless they're using pico, in which case it's hardcoded into the source as 8-char. Numerically (not with a central constant). In about 8 places. If someone wants, I can dig up my patches to pico to make it use 4-char (necessary because a friend of mine uses it and we work on code together), which I believe also set it to use a constant in the header file instead of a bunch of hardcoded numbers distributed around the source. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
