Re: RDi Birthday Celebration

I don't know if I mentioned that or not. Just so disgusted/frustrated at the lack of initiative.

RDi? Like dragging a dead horse to water...

A coworker still spends parts of some days drawing lines on a printout to figure out if/do blocks.  Of course, I tell him that if he coded in free format it would be a lot easier too.  But, sadly, we have a lot of fixed format code (even more sadly, some written this year).

Maybe your coworker doesn't know about compiling with INDENT('|') to get
the C specs printed with indentation in the compile listing.

1 C     1             ifeq                       1
2 C     'ick'         |dsply
3 C                   |do                        3
4 C     'ew ew'       ||dsply
5 C                   |enddo
6 C                   endif
7 C                   return

Even easier, in RDi, you can click "Show Indentation" in the "Source"
menu to see an indented view of the source.
