I agree with Scott that not that much changes.  Everything below except
for the spacing, could be applied to fixed as well as /free.

That being said, I based our style on our Java style, which I got here:
http://www.javaranch.com/style.jsp

Obviously not everything translates, but mixed case naming and
semi-colon placement are the same.  My documentation even resembles
JavaDoc.

Here are some other standards/guidelines we employ:
- Indent 2 spaces per level starting under the 'r' in /free.
- If you have to wrap a line of code more than once you are either
nested too far or the line is too complicated.
- All database files are prefixed.
- File field names are in ALLCAPS.
- Qualified datastructures are recommended but not required.
- Only use named indicators.
- No compile time tables/arrays, inz DS subfields instead.

Naturally this all applies to new code...
