I've yet to see any 2 C programs from different programmers have the
same style, so why should free form RPG be any different <grin>.

Actually, pretty much the same with RPG, you can tell who wrote a program
by the style they used.

You can specify that you will have comments at the top describing this
or that or the other, it will contain the name, comments in code for
describing cryptic functions/variables, no right side comments (if you
can do that in free form) etc... but, as you pointed out, it's a holy
war that will never get resolved.

Just IMO.

Jim Langston

Subject: Free-form RPG standards


Has anyone adopted or seen any good examples of  "Standards" yet on how
free-form RPG should look?  We're going to V5 pretty soon now and I need to
head off the inevitable coding wars that are sure to ensue.  Something like
the "Style" chapter in Jon's redbook would be great.
