Avoid tabulators (ASCII 0x09), because M$ started a mess with tab sizes.
It the past tab stops were at every 8th position, now you find it on every
value between 2 and 8, especially 3 and 4.

Ada normally stops compilation on a tab. Fatal error.
No problem if you configure your editor correctly.
In a world of Gigabyte hard disk this some byte should be no problem.

I call this read protected code. It's more secure than CSS.

    for ( packets = 0; pl [packets] != -1; packets++ )
        /* nop */ ;
