5Dave likes this code indented formatted in a consistent way.
6The file "dot.emacs" has the emacs C-mode indentation style that Dave likes.

10NTP4 uses ANSI C.  Some folks are blessed with a pre-ansi C compiler.  We
11support them by using "ansi2knr" in the Makefiles, which is automatically
12detected and selected by the configure process.
13
14For ansi2knr to work, we MUST define functions as follows:
15
16type stuff
17function_name ( actual parameters )
18
19While the whitespace is optional, the function name MUST start at column 0.

23We'd like to see *all* system function declarations live in include/l_stdlib.h
24and NEVER appear in the .c files.
