You're right - I sometimes fight myself between 3 and 4. 3 cuts down on space but 4 is more natural (2 works but feels too compact and isn't as visually pleasing). However, I'd take 3 over 8 given the choice. I also agree on the 80 character limit - I just felt I had to mention it as it was drilled into my Unix indoctrination (I once had a class where the prof would automatically give you a zero if a single line went over 80 characters). Today though, I break the rule all the time... I mean that's what rules are for, right? -- Brett Johnson simpleroute | 1690 Williston Road | South Burlington, VT 05401 tel: 802-578-3983 | email: [email protected] | web: simpleroute.com
