Eh, I'm talking about linux/kernel/* etc, so it's really Andrew and Linus who'd have to be OK with it. If you can fix those, I'd be happy to adjust the ia64 files to fit within 80 cols.

I don't particularly like 100 cols. I'd be happy if all (major) Linux kernel files fit into 80 cols, it's just that in reality, you need 100 cols to look at most important kernel files. --david - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Thu Jan 6 15:02:04 2005
