Such schemes have been tried before, but usually fail since that makes source only (practically) editable with one editor, which most users loath. I don't see what's so different about this one. Also think about e.g. the trouble with RCS, patch systems etc. I personally would spend my time improving source beautifiers like our own ptop (and you could make them to automatically find these tabstops). _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
