Hi Jim, Thanks for the hint -- I certainly will get RStyle to check my stuff. It will very likely help me to make sense of what I wrote all those years ago!
Most of what I do have is in EEPs; I don't have any big APP files, and I never got around to learning how to store procedures in my databases. I know that a lot of my coding is rather untidy, and although I have tried to be careful about syntax, I'm sure there are places where I've been slack. But that was always been one of the joys of R:Base -- I could do things quickly and they just _worked_! (I think I do have an old copy of RStyle somewhere -- Dennis could probably tell us what version it is and when I got it! -- but I'm afraid I never developed the habit of using it as much as I should or as it deserved. Shame!) Thanks again Best regards Merf On 12 Feb 2008 at 11:20, James Bentley wrote: > Merf, > > Welcome to the list.
