** I have having more people work for me on ever large software projects. I have always been non-judgemental about style figuring that if it works, who am I to say what is right or wrong? As nice as it sounds, there are practical considerations like portability, maintainability, and enhanceabilty that creep up and bit me since I have made no rules. In a few months I will be starting my biggest project yet involving four or more people for several months. Before we get started I want to make LAWS. I want to switch from anarchy to totalitarianism, as it were. I plan to develop my own guidelines, but I am looking to find other style manuals. I recall the Indian Hill Style Sheet (or something like that) several years ago. Would someone send me that? Does anyone have any ideas about other guidelines that would be helpful? -- scc!steiny Don Steiny @ Don Steiny Software 109 Torrey Pine Terrace Santa Cruz, Calif. 95060 (408) 425-0382

It is published by Plum Hall, 1 Spruce Ave., Cardiff NJ 08232, phone (609) 927-3770. It is an excellent set of guidelines for both portability and readability.
