Ben, I fully agree…within a group, all should stick to a single standard, no matter which standard that may be. At work, where I do 99% of the maintance of other's code…I have a heck of a time deciphering other's code until I run it thru cb (the UNIX C beautifier) which matches my prefered style. Unfortunately, I don't have the power to enforce a single standard, else I would. No one else seems interested in the subject. My only point was the usual that user's have a choice where there are several "standards" for doing the same thing. We've all seen flame wars where folks get real upset when someone (or program) enforces a single style that matches their preference…but not necessairly other's preferences. An example was the wildcard issue…as I said, I didn't recall your stand on that issue…so wasn't going to re-hash it. Don
