Re: /Free conversion (was CAPTCHA image validation in web form)

Yeah, I've experienced all that - just as Linoma did a great job - better then CVTRPGSRC - that was a smash-together deal.

Another thing that bugs me is how free is implemented - comments in particular. If you select comments anywhere and choose to convert to free - it puts double slashes starting in position 6. If you do it within C-specs, it puts the comments starting in position 7, which is valid in free. Comments starting in column 6 in free-form context generate errors. This is one of those consistency items I'd like to see - but not enough yet to complain!
