When Fasmw loads a file,
Fasmw converts all spaces to tabs.
Is it possible to avoid this when fasms saves the file ?

When fasmw loads a file, it converts all tabs to spaces (not the other way round), and this is another piece of DOS Navigator's herigate in the architecture of AsmEdit control. DN had an option "Optimal fill on saving", which allowed to choose whether whitespace should be saved only using space characters, or with the optimal amount of tabs and spaces. fasmw uses the option that has exactly the same name, for the same purpose.

when fasmw LOADS and after SAVES a file,
fasmw convert all spaces to tabs.

with WinHex,

my file "before" : 76 octets
my file "after" : 24 octets (all spaces ---> tabs)

my file has been modified and no longer contains any spaces.
how disable this option Tomasz ? (thank you)
