No, I meant, I want a special "get out of jail free card." :) Anyway, this particular formatting topic has been fought tooth and nail just like many others on many other forums, however, I'm not one to be quiet about losing little freedoms either. The argument for this little "coding standard" is: I want to be able to find function Foo by saying: grep "^Foo". So I have to write void Foo() instead of void Foo() That is ALL it is useful for, in my opinion, and that is not enough for me to write in a style that is generally against the grain. I come from the linux-kernel-dev boot camp, where most of the coding standards are for putting as many lines of code on a screen as is reasonably readable. Cuddled elses are so snuggly. -Melvin
