Re: Mainframe "culture" question - how display a tab character?

[Dale Miller]

Some have asserted that tab characters should be removed from source.  
However, for makefiles, according to the GNU Make Manual (for version  
3.80) "You need to put a tab character at the beginning of every  
command line."
This has always struck me as lunacy, but it's an example of the IT  
golden rule - " Who writes the software makes the rules."
