RE: MOVE opcode in freeform (was Strange behavior w/%editc)

["Smith, Nelson" <NSmith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with that, Bob.  That has always been one of my pet peeves with
magazine and newsgroup code.  The same folks who will argue endlessly over
the merits of DOW vs. DOU, often post such abbreviated hard-to-understand
code, always claiming lack of space or time as the justification for it.
I've even seen some of that from the boys and girls at the lab, and they
should be the evangelists of free-form. Or at least, promoting the proper
use of it.  As far as I'm concerned, this list is my number one classroom
and I count on it for "best of breed" examples that I can copy and file away
for future use.

Where is the best place to find well-written examples of free-form (in any
language)?  Are there any good books on style? I'm just now going to V5, and
since I've had so little experience at it, I would like to have some good
examples to go by, initially.  Not the most technically correct code, but
code that is easiest to read and maintain. Emphasis on "maintain". I've yet
to decide if it's the way to go or not, but I agree that "mixed" is not a
pretty sight.
