[comp.sys.xerox] PRETTYTABFLG in Medley on SPARC

calle@erix.ericsson.se (Calle Welin) (04/12/90)

In Medley 1.1-S on the SPARCstation 1 PRETTYTABFLG seems to have no
effect, i.e. even if it is set to T, MAKEFILE prints out files on the
disk with spaces rather than tabs, making the files 20 - 30 % larger
than necessary. Is there any workaround for this?

Thank you very much,
Calle

It's true, PRETTYTABFLG is no longer used.  But if you're really worried
about file size, you should make your files with the FAST option.  This
doesn't prettyprint at all, so it takes up much less space and writes
faster.  On those occasions when you want printed hardcopy, use the
PRETTYFILEINDEX LispUsers module.
