hi Larry,
in (x)emacs you would just hook (untabify (point-min) (point-max)) after (set-variable 'tab-width 8) on c-mode-common, or type ``M-x untabify'' on a selected buffer. There is expand as well, on any unix.
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.
Btw, I happen to prefer the `legacy' way...

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