Summary: Alternative use for indenting in C

In article <169@comp.lancs.ac.uk> craig@comp.lancs.ac.uk (Craig Wylie) quotes:
>>Using braces to indicated the structure of a program results in code that
>>is quite difficult to read.  (Try removing all indentation from any C

I use programs like "cb" and "indent" to get my C programs
indented according to what they *REALLY* mean, as opposed to
what I intended them to mean (indicated by MY indenting).  This
can be quite illuminating....
