[Info-vax] different defaults in batch

[Jake Hamby (Solid State Jake)]

Correcting myself: I've been browsing GNAT sources, and Ada code does tend to spell things out. I found a loop with "Index" instead of "I":

      if On_Windows then
         --  Replace all '/' by '\'

         for Index in 1 .. End_Path loop
            if Path_Buffer (Index) = '/' then
               Path_Buffer (Index) := Directory_Separator;
            end if;
         end loop;

The same file also has "for J in", so I guess the author wasn't completely opposed to the idea. I thought "i" standing for "index" was kind of funny, and very Ada. Another example of spelling things out, Ada-style:

   type File_Descriptor is new Integer;
   --  Corresponds to the int file handle values used in the C routines

   Standin  : constant File_Descriptor := 0;
   Standout : constant File_Descriptor := 1;
   Standerr : constant File_Descriptor := 2;
   --  File descriptors for standard input output files

   Invalid_FD : constant File_Descriptor := -1;
   --  File descriptor returned when error in opening/creating file

   Null_FD : constant File_Descriptor := -2;
   --  Uninitialized file descriptor

   procedure Close (FD : File_Descriptor; Status : out Boolean);

It's not "stdin". It's "Standin".
