The problems.pas seems quite fucked up.

I don't need formatting of all kind of special cases like

const
blabla

I can do all that stuff myself ;)

I only need automatic identing of begin end blocks and repeat until blocks
and while etc blocks.

So writing a tool to fit my needs shouldn't be too hard ;)

Further the DelForEx tool uses spaces to do identing instead of tab
characters ?!?! major OUCH.

Using this tool would probably waste more of my time than it solves :(

The website has a link to the "borland style".

http://community.borland.com/soapbox/techvoyage/article/1,1795,10280,00.htm

I can't help but feel that it's outdated. Surely borland must release by now
that using tab characters is way more professional, simply because it allows
perfect identing and faster movement through code when going back/left with
the cursor.

I truely wonder why somebody would use spaces instead. I am not sure but
maybe we had this discussing before... I simply can't remember any reason...
Maybe it had something to do with different character sets or unicode or
something... just guessing.
