Coding style, specifically 80 characters

Hi guys,

Do you have a coding style that I should go by?
Specifically, do you use the 80 chars/line limit?
I see a lot of code that doesn't, so I haven't, but it's bugging me
more and more by the second.

Regards,
Sepand

+1 for 120 characters :)

And Sun coding standards for the rest.

I try to keep the meat of the statement to the first 80 characters  
and if some string goes out to say 200 characters, I don't really  
care.  I just don't want to be surprised by some important thing off  
the screen.

Agreed.
120 is much more useful :)

I think the 80 char limit is antiquated... now that most folks have  
displays that can quite easily display more than 80 columns.   
Limiting lines to 80 tends to force folks to artificially reformat  
code which just uglies things up.
