I believe I was quite clear when I suggested that the IDE should *NOT* alter the actual code -- it should simply *DISPLAY* the style I prefer. For that matter, any new code I type should, by definition, be saved in the style the rest of the file is in, no matter which style is being displayed at the moment. I don't think there are any IDEs on the market that do this. They all seem to think they know how to align things better than I do, and generally just screw it up, and, yes, make version control a nightmare if you actually try to use their silly auto-format. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
