Re: Free Fromat Standards

When we switched to free-format we made very few changes to our standards.

Basically, aside from the syntax changes required from the language,
we decided:

-- The code should be indented 3 spaces or more from the position of
    the /free tag.

-- Each new level (such as those created by if/endif do/enddo, etc)
    should be indented 3 or more spaces.

Aside from that, we use the exact same standards that we used in
fixed-format.  The transition from fixed format to free format is really
not that big of a change.  You just have more space for your statements
now.

Good Luck
