>>I've gotta agree. Back in the old days (when things were line oriented), it was sometimes necessary to "jam" commands together in order to save memory (which could be precious at the time). Today it makes no difference. Having separate lines takes up no more memory in a compiled application than having them on a single line. Plus it makes the code more readable.

In order to be usuable in both version 6 and 7, the author gave the source code, but he wanted to release it as shareware, so his documentation stated that "the code is unreadable". I thought he just removed the indentation, but when I looked, he had also removed all ENTERs, so his code was cramped into 4 [very long] lines! One could "decode" this program, so it was not "unreadable", but I thought the idea was nice! :-)

Hi Sylvain,

Now if he had encrypted it (and even provided the key), I would've said he was a sadist.:-)
