Tony, Can you use diff -w or diff -b?
Can the derivatives be cleaned up?I'll volunteer.
It'd be nice to get rid of  whitespace at ends of lines  all tabs  overly indented "END", like I sometimes see on records.
The Modula-3 codebase isn't so large as to make this infeasible,even if that extends to the PM3 copy.
My editor uses 4 space tabs and a fair amount of code with tabsassumes 8. It'd be nice just to get rid of them.
 
ok either way. A lot stuff bugs me and I /often/ but not always ignore it..

Jay,

I notice you just checked in a slew of whitespace removal.   I hate extra whitespace as much as anyone, but these sorts of checkins play havoc with those of us who track changes via diff (and derivatives).  Please restrain your whitespace editing to files where you make meaningful changes.

Thanks,

Tony
