Oh, not the right number. But I have seen wars waging over the correct indention style to use. Braces behind flow control statements, or beneath, and if the latter, indented halfways or not? > Use a tool for that.

And just in case you never worked with CVS: Having mutually commits of sourcecode that has been subject to code formatting tools often creates a hellhole of conflicts - which is a major PITA. > Well to each his own. Amen. Why don't you use ruby? It has braces. And code blocks. And its more liberal towards overriding builtins, which might appeal to you. -- Regards, Diez B.
