[ODE] Standard for formatting the code ?

[John Miles]

Actually, it's always somewhat irritating to see Unix-style formatting in a
source file.  Come on, guys, spend one byte per line to include a
linefeed... and no tabs, please.  It's no longer 1979, and 4116s are about a
nickel apiece on eBay nowadays, if your system needs a RAM upgrade.
