    Hi Rick,
     
    Wow! Thanks - I've been worrying about importing a word-wrapping
    library into my MIB to MOF translator to "shorten" the DESCRIPTION
    lines from the MIBs - all of my tools currently check for 80 columns
    and IETF and PWG standard MIBs are formatted to 72 columns.
     
    Talk to you Thursday.
     
    Cheers,
    - Ira

    Rick,

    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.

    John

    John, I have 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.

    Are there written rules that I haven't found? Unwritten rules? A little
    help, please. Thanks. Just trying to be kind to the editor. :-)
