Gotta agree with this. I write perl with 2 column indenting. No tab characters. Never gets screwed up with more/less.
Please use a format that's supported by _some_ editor's programmable 'c' mode. "People should think; editors should indent." Get rid of tab characters as a method of indentation. They're evil (as well as being subject to mis-interpretation by more/less). Dave "Todd M.
