Purpose

Move All Braces Left or Right One Tab Stop.

Operation

Style A - the style for presenting code grew out of C and into C++. It looks like:

if ( ! bSwitch )
   {
   strWork = "Done" ;
   iWork++ ;
   }

Style B - more recent conventions present the same code as:


if ( ! bSwitch )
{
   strWork = "Done" ;
   iWork++ ;
}

Many people prefer the first form and many people prefer the second. Each will swear that their preference is easy to read and the other is (at best) hard to read.

This function will convert a module from Style A to Style B or from Style B to Style A.
