Re: Few questions about tlf code

[Drew Arnett]

Another vote for 80 columns.  I like to run tlf in an 80x25 or 80x24
console/monitor.  If I want to edit on the same platform...

Tabs vs spaces is always an interesting question.  I guess so long as
the tabs are all meant to be 8 char (or 4 or whatever the convention
is for the project).

Best regards,

Drew
