On Thu, Jan 20, 2000 at 08:31:15AM +0200, a little birdie told me that Giorgos Keramidas remarked > > You know what they say. If your indentation level exceeds a well > defined limit (the 80 characters of a terminal line being one such, > uhm, `well defined limit'), you might have to reconsider your design. Indeed. But that 'well defined limit' gets reached much faster (twice as fast, in fact) with 8-char tabs than 4-char. Too much faster. > Without any intention to offend anyone, I'd suggest your friend starts > reading that style(9) manpage. Hey, *I* wrote a lot of the code! Besides, there's a lot of things in style(9) that I don't like, and don't use in my own projects. -- 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
