Absolutely. I was talking only about my own code, and code which I modify falls under a different set of rules. Basically, I just use whatever "style" the author is already using, even if there are no spaces between operators and they've written code which looks like: ``for(i=0;i<10;i++) blah;'' :-) It would be far too confusing otherwise to be reading through some body of code and suddenly see that for a short block in the middle, the style has just changed completely. Code which I *adopt*, of course, goes through my emacs re-indenting and formatting elisp function. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
