I'm afraid I have to agree with Lewis Townsend -- this issue really *isn't*
worth the attention it's received. Why am I responding, then? Hopefully, to
provide a palatable solution for all concerned...
Simply use the following include file in every program where you want
print() to add that extra space:
-- printsp.e include file
procedure Print(integer fn, object data)
print(fn, data)
puts(fn, ' ') -- or '\n', either one will work
end procedure
global procedure print(integer fn, object data)
Print(fn, data)
end procedure
-- end of printsp.e
Now, print() will *always* add that extra space, but only for those programs
which really need it to.
Ta-daa!
