I didn't want to start something about tab dimensions (not _that_ stupid). If we begin something about that, the next subject will be the mandatory use of vi to edit the files ;) But there are a lot (>20000) of lines which have either some spaces/tabs or combination of both after the final ";" (or "," in the case of function arguments splitted on a couple of lines.) IMHO, it'd be better to remove them (although I admit it's mostly for esthetics reasons). On the same vein, there are also a couple of instances where the final semi-colon is doubled, eg: "return S_OK;;". I removed the second one when grep encountered them. If Alexandre wants to do it locally, I support him (our mailboxes will appreciate). Vincent
