KNF is mostly about formatting. Its main conflict with ANSIfication is that it doesn't cover new-style function definitions. This isn't a problem because old-style function definitions are standard too. The main reasons to keep using KNF are: - to make it easier to merge changes from CSRG and NetBSD. - there is too much to change. Bruce
