I think standards are such a wonderful thing that everyone should
have one of their very own! :-))

I know that the Software Productivity Consortium published a
coding standard which I looked over several years back. I think
it's in the public domain and is available from an FTP site like
WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU. (Someone out there more familiar than me
might know for sure. Also check AJPO.SEI.CMU.EDU)

My recollection of the standard was this: Lots of good ideas and
recommendations WRT coding style. However, it was fairly detailed
and thorough - thus I'd hate to be audited to this as a coding
standard. (I don't know if this is a problem for you.)
