Ignore this if I am not understanding the question. It looks to me like all you need to do is open the file in emacs, select the entire file, and invoke indent-region (check the syntax). There is a built library of styles to choose from; a default, K&R, GNU, and others. Opening files with C/C++ extensions automatically puts you in C/C++ mode. As for extending vim for this, I have not a clue. For its ease of use in writing formatted code in any number of languages, try emacs even if you prefer vim for ordinary tasks. gt Yes I fear I am living beyond my mental means--Nash
