8-) No, I once had to moderate a team of 15 programmers trying to agree on formatting. I learned you have to work with the "Carrot-and-stick" methodology. Meaning, in this context, force the few guidelines that really hurt if not adhered to and leave room for personal taste where it doesn't hurt. Personally, I run everything through a formatter first (even FOP) when I need to modify code. I just can't stand Kernighan/Ritchie braces - my visual interface doesn't scan that properly. 8-) One further anecdote: In a company where I worked for two years, they had a fetish regarding hungarian notation (in C) while disregaring most every basic rule of programming (like CVS? what's that?, Make? Why, we have batchfiles!). I was the only one who always got away without using Hungarian notation. I always said: Oh, I will, as soon as you have transformed all of your pszpptr names into pszpFilename (or whatever). Somehow, this worked. -- Cappelino Informationstechnologie GmbH Arnd Beißner --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
