All right! A challenge! Write a "Pritty-Printing" program that will
input the "offending"
POV scene code and output a file formatted in your favorite format. ei :
no tabs or
tabs only or "asmuchasyoucanstuffononeline" or
one
key 
word 
per 
line
.
I have seen this done for Pascal and I have the text on my bookshelf
somewhere.
I intend to find it and adapt. Maybe set alternate format schemes. If
someone could then just
agree on a "posting format". Just think, no more need to comment on
format, each could
get the text and convert to his or her favorite format.
All I have to program in is qbasic that came with ms-dos. So please feel
free to pick-up this
challenge and write your own in whatever language you can. 
Also, think about a "posting format", one that will generate the least
amount of negative
comments. Lets give the NG a "unified, professional" appearance. Lets
stop the bickering.
Mr. Art
