Tabs in the Source Code make the Online Browser Unreadable #12

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Problem:
The ABox source code is formatted with tab (ascii 0x09) characters. The source 
code assumes that tabs characters are every 4 spaces. Tabs on a web page, 
however, are understood to be 8 characters. The difference in tab length makes 
the on-line source code unreadable.

Recommend:
*Untabify, verify that the new code still assembles, and commit.
*Beware! MASM 6.14 has a 512 character maximum command length. Changing tabs to 
spaces causes numerous errors due to long lines -- all of which can be adjusted 
by reducing the indentations of the offending text. It might be the case that 
newer versions of MASM do not have the 512 character limit.

ABOX242 Detabified. Fixed all the build issues it created.
And: What's up with the googedit boxes? The width and 
word wrapping is ridiclulous! Moreover, issues can't 
be edited after the fact?! Guess it's a good idea to 
manually word wrap ... hmm, I'll have to update my 
resume and try for a position as 'Word Wrapper'.
