The main problem is that when you display/print a program that uses tabs on something that expands them to every 8-columns, you often end up with much of the code so far to the right you can't see much of it. Another problem is that people will use tabs to do things like line up comments to the right of code. That only works if the program displaying/printing the code has tab widths that match the authors. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
