No one has yyet to mention for what purpose one is writting the program. I almost always make lines fit on the tty screen but, if the program has a real time consideration I will often let my printf's become very long to eliminate the overhead of function calls. Likewise, my functions/subroutines are generally rather small but, as above real time considerations sometime change this. What use is a function no matter how small if its called only once or twice?? What about everyones use of MACROS?? Well these are my hurried opinions on the subject. I thought I would get something on the net so as to get involved with the discussions a little bit more. Zarth Arn P.S. BTW I feel programming style is the one thing that distinquishes us programmers from each other. Personnal touch!
