Exactly my point. Using spaces for indentation makes indenting an author-only choice. Using tabs makes indentation a reader-specific choice. When it comes to code-readability, it should be easy to format the code that's easiest for the reader to read. For poorly formatted code (that which uses spaces isntead of tabs) I can easily whack ":1^M=G" in vim and have it re-indent everything for me the way I like. It's just a pity that if the code needs to be shared, I have to go make edits against the original, un-reformatted file. Anyway, it's all a matter of preference and the decision is entirely arbitrary. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
