[svlug] I asked about emacs tab magic

[Larry Colen]

I was pointed to this very handy page:
http://www.student.northpark.edu/pemente/emacs_tabs.htm#FileVars

And my solution was to change the first line of the file from:

/* vi: set ts=4 sw=4 : */

to

/* vi: set ts=4 sw=4 :  -*-  tab-width:4  c-basic-offset:4   -*-  */

Now it seems to work the same in both vi and emacs, and matches the
company doctrine of indenting by four columns.

One of these days, I'll write a tokenized version of C that will let
you tell the editor how you want the source formatted and it will
automagically just work right.
