It was never in Think C. Think Pascal formats code because it parses your code as it is loaded, so the editor 'decodes' the parse tree in order to display your program. Thus, you get (feature) automatic formatting and bolding and lose (misfeature?) the ability to arbitrarily reformat the code as you wish. You can use Pretty-C (v.1.04) to get nice looking code listings. It's ftpable from sumex-aim, $25 shareware. -phil shapiro, symantec tech support -- Phil Shapiro phils@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu
