[nfbcs] compiler and formatting

[Tara Annis]

Ian, thanks for the info.  For clarification:  I'm using Windows 7 but  am logging into the University's system with Linux  to use VIM.  I don't mind logging in to use it, I just don't like how JAWS is reading text for editing purposes.  I've also been looking for key commands for cutting code from Notepad into VIM. I think it is something like doing the set clipboard = unnamed in VIM, then doing the control X in Notepad, then doing a *P or +P to paste into VIM.  
If I can find  this key command sequence, I should be fine with VIM.  

 Formatting: I worried about this because my instructor had stated in all the assignments, "do not align all of your code on the left side, or you'll receive a 0 for the entire assignment."  So, I wasn't sure what looked good visually.  I've been putting the left and right brace on their own lines, lined up in the same column, and then writing statements between the braces.  So, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to put braces on column 1 and ten start each line of statement on column 4 or 5?  I can definitely ask the instructor, but I asked the list since I thought you all may have specific  techniques you use with a screen reader to format correctly.

 This is my first CS course so I'm still a beginner.
