Well, c-continued-statement-offset probably should be 4. This was left over from days past, and isn't used by cc-mode actually (thus my comment about dumping them). Shortly after my post I got rid of that crud and so I'm left with just: (defconst knf-c-style '((c-basic-offset . 8) (c-offsets-alist . ((knr-argdecl-intro . +) (knr-argdecl . 0) (block-open . -) (label . -) (statement-cont . 4) (arglist-cont . 4) (arglist-cont-nonempty 4)))) "BSD KNF") Notice that the 4 space indent is used for continuation. > The style manpage says > "Indentation is an 8 character tab.

Any way to do what the style manpage wants? Have you tried what I posted previously? Works for me. Cheers, -- Jacques A. Vidrine <n@nectar.cc> http://www.nectar.cc/ NTT/Verio SME . FreeBSD UNIX .
