Hi Tony Here is the file containing code formatting settings that I use. > Is code formatting enforced in these projects? > No, not really.

I personally have fairly bizarre preferences for code formatting and therefore do not find it possible to impose them onto other fellow human beings. We could try, though, given the fact that the code base is becoming stable and major cross cutting changes are unlikely. Oleg > Many thanks, > Tony
