I prefer > a 4-space indent, but do what you want with your own code :-). i prefer 4-width indent as well. if i could figure out how to get terminfo/termcap to hard-wire that (overriding the ridiculously arcane and overdone 8-width tabs in ALL display routines) i'd be a much happer camper. (ideas still welcome.) <proselytizing> one tab, indent one level. done. (why clutter up your source code with all those spaces?) and if you really go overboard overindendinting a really deep algorithm, you can always redefine tabs to be 3-wide, or 2-wide. don't have to revisit all those extraneous spaces. but eight is for 1969-era wonks. eesh. </proselytizing> fortunately, with the laissez-faire environment of linux, you can make yours work however you like it to. :) -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #19 from Dave Sherohman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : How do you determine WHICH NETWORK SERVICES ARE OPEN (active)? Try "netstat -a | grep LISTEN". To see numeric values (instead of the common names for services using a particular port) then try "netstat -na" instead. For more info, look at "man netstat". Also try "lsof -i" as root. "man lsof" for details. =Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
