Yes, this is Linux. This means that the standard for hard tabs is 8 characters wide. If you ever want to exchange files with anyone else, and you want them to be able to read your files without getting a headache, please either ensure that your tab key inserts spaces, or your hard tabs are 8 characters wide. Many coding conventions require this. -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and mh-e. Vote Libertarian!
