I am working on preparing the indent program for release (a modified
version of the indent program released on the BSD4.3-tahoe free tape).
I am looking for help on a few things.  Please send all responses
directly to me at kingdon@ai.mit.edu, not to the list/newsgroup.

* I need to know (for the program and for the documentation) what the
commonly used styles of C programming.  Is it possible just to list
about a half a dozen or so common styles?  Or is people's use of
whitespace more eclectic?  If you would send me your favorite list of
indent options, and/or a description of what you perceive as the most
popular combinations of options, I would appreciate it.

* If you would like to alpha test indent, let me know and perhaps we
can stomp out the obvious bugs before the official release.
