There are a few formatting issues which I probably will fix. The problem I'm having is basically that we have a specific style that we are trying to adhere to (surely everone can understand the readability advantages of a single coding style - KNF), and Terry wants to add a few hundred gotos while he rewrites everything. Yuck. I really wish that people would spend more time on fixing real problems with the source code and not just changing it to fit their own non-KNF style. It's only going to result in a lot more work later when someone has to go back and "fix" all of it. >it's not as if we are actually short of things to do or anything.. How true. -DG
