Many a terminal have hard tabs set to 8 (like H19's). Am I supposed to ignore this and waste my time sending out spaces? So some of you arn't happy with a tab stop at 8 and I don't like mustard on my hamburgers. I don't see Mac & Dons switching to hamburgers without mustard, why should the world go to tab stops not set to 8? (And 8 is a nice number, 2^3, 80/10, 3+5, etc). -Paul R Borman -St. Olaf College -ihnp4!stolaf!bormanp (But since ihnp4 has a cold right now) -ihps3!stolaf!bormanp
