RE: [Tiny-cobol-users] Coding Standard.

[Andrew C. <an...@an...>]

Hi,

I personally also prefer the K&R Style instead of GNU.
Adding the -bl option fixes the Brackets 
Perhaps we can use that standard.

ie
indent -kr -bl filename.c

The ideal is to attempt to use that same standard on each file. Failure to
to this will cause the whole file to be checked in each time with CVS.
How about  a comment line near the beginning of each file which shows what
switches were used with indent.
See the above example.

Regards
Andrew
