I think cvs-wrappers can do this kind of stuff. I'm not Brendan> sure what other implications there are. One of the problems with indent is that it's not perfect. I oftentimes have to tweak comments that have been mis-formated (usually when I have hand-formatted a table or diagram). Yes. I've experimented a bit with GDB sources, and was going to recommend not letting indent touch comment blocks at all. I've also encountered problems with nested preprocessor conditionals where spurious white- space is introduced. Could you point out an example or two of this? To me, all nested preprocessor conditionals are nasty, but there's no point in going overboard to make them harder to read... Stan
