<P><FONT size=2>Rick,<BR><BR>There are rules that are handled by the pretty
printer. So I don't think you need to worry about it too much. Just
make sure you follow some indentation rule and don't go over 80 characters
wide. These two rules just simply the review.<BR><BR>John<BR><BR>-----

heard rumors that there are strict formatting rules for MOF files.
Examples of rumor: no line shall be longer than 72 characters; indenting shall
be three blanks; no Description line shall be longer than 60 characters;
etc. We (PWG) are about to embark on a journey of many MOFs, so I would
like to avoid such mistakes. <BR><BR>Are there written rules that I haven't
found? Unwritten rules? A little help, please. Thanks.
Just trying to be kind to the editor.
