Original question from me:

) I prefer spaces to tabs in my C source.
) On a per-buffer basis, I can do it through edit-options, but how do I
) do it forever in every buffer ?
)
) I tried
)    (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
) and
)    (setq c-mode-hook (setq indent-tabs-mode nil))
) but I keep getting tabs.

Most succinct answer (from several people) was:

        (setq c-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)))

Other answers turned off tabs completely, rather than just in c-mode.

Thanks to all who responded and set me straight about how my attempts
would just be setting c-mode-hook to nil, the result of the setq.
