I never made every page fit in one printed page. In some places, that is very hard to do, and I didn't have enough time to spare for neatness in all the rest of the code. Nonetheless, the code is easier to understand where we have divided it nicely. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
