Make sure you pass a Fixed value to WESetDefaultTabWidth(), i.e.,
if you want to have a default a tab every, say, 24 pixels from
the left margin, you need to use something like:

    WESetDefaultTabWidth(24 << 16, myWE);

Why wait?  WASTE 3.0 is already being used in a number of
products.  If you're interested in licensing it for use in
your universal binary application, please contact me privately.

Hmm... have you #defined WASTE_BUILTIN_TABS to 1 in your
prefix file?  WASTEIntf.h will #define it to 0 unless it
finds it already #defined.

I don't know.  The latest publicly available version of WASTE 2.x
dates back to August 2002, so I'm pretty sure you must have the
latest version.  Of course, the 2.x series is no longer maintained
nor supported.  For future development, you should consider
switching to version 3.0.
