A question...
I'm sure you have seen how THINK pascal formats you're text.
Well, I like that feature of having keywords in bold and code structures
formatted so you can tell where they are...
Why was this feature taken out of THINK C ?
And...is there anyway I can put it into THINK C.

It was never in Think C. Think Pascal formats code because it parses your code as it is loaded, so the editor 'decodes' the parse tree in order to display your program. Thus, you get (feature) automatic formatting and bolding and lose (misfeature?) the ability to arbitrarily reformat the code as you wish. You can use Pretty-C (v.1.04) to get nice looking code listings. It's ftpable from sumex-aim, $25 shareware. -phil shapiro, symantec tech support -- Phil Shapiro phils@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu

THINK Pascal (LSP) is descended from Mac Pascal, the first (2nd?) Mac language. Mac Pascal originated the pretty-printing; LSP inherited it, apparently to punish us. LSC is not actually related to LSP; it predates Symantec's acquisition of the latter (question: anybody know how that came about?). There was never any pretty-printing in LSC; it wasn't taken out. >And...is there anyway I can put it into THINK C. Hahahahahaha... Why would you want to, anyway? It's kind of nice, but it gets obnoxious. Especially when you've got a godawful long list of things that you've told it you want printed horizontally (variables and unit names, for example--either all on one line or each on its own).
