Thanks for doing that, by the way. I wanted to do it myself but was afraid of starting a war. ;-) (Until someone tells me how to tell all the terminal programs that I use that tabs don't occupy the same room as 8 spaces--so that things like 'cat' and 'less' show the same indenting as <insert your editor here>--I will be a fervent believer that tab characters should move the cursor 8 spaces.) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
