The original (Porter) version did indeed not correspond to any current
Java coding standards -- because (a) it was translated to Java before
such standards emerged (JDK 1.0) and (b) translated from another
language. I left these as is, rather than attempt to clean them up.
Yes, I understand that. In looking at the code it is quite obviously
of the same origin (i.e. from Martin Porter) but may be an older
version (I couldn't quite tell). It doesn't come close to any normal
Java programming guidelines, and while I didn't try to modify the
latest version so that it would, entirely, because part of the
reason I think whoever wrote the original code formatted it the way
they did was to enable an easier reading of the comparison strings.
I've tried to come to some compromise, as well as (as I mentioned)
predeclaring the Strings so that the VM isn't constantly recreating
them.
