Thanks, actually that tip will help a lot (but what happens with CVS - does it 
know to consider tabs equivalent to spaces, and if so, how does it know what 
the tab spacing is?

One thing I learned here (I think) is that normally hard tabs are eight spaces 
on Unix. At least that seems to be the first spacing to try.

Well, you're welcome to try to rationalize that preference - I'd really like 
to know why you like hard tabs better :-)
