I agree 100% with respect to whitespace.
whitespace after commas and around operators is much more readable in my
oppinion.

I woud also favor K&R style curly bracket placement, but that's a little
less important to me than the whitespace.


I don't think anyone is going to re-format everything at once, so this is
what I would keep in mind as I'm working on TORQUE:

in order of importance:

#1 - consistency within a function

#2 - consistency within an entire source file

#3 - consistency between relaited source files

#4 - consistency between all source files



and I preffer a pretty short and consise set of coding GUIDELINEs rather
than a long, complicated, and rigid STANDARD
