Thanks John. It should be good to follow your work. Perhaps looking at your code would give me some clue as to what I could do for C/C++. Yesterday I also found a free package called Artistic Style (astyle.sourceforge.net) which does a decent job as a code-formatter. However the utility of something like vim_tidy_code would still remain. Arindam -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
