*** If you edit primarily one style of C (or C++, Objective-C, Java)<BR>
code, you may want to make the CC Mode style variables have global
values so that you can set them directly in your .emacs file.  To do
this, set c-style-variables-are-local-p to nil in your .emacs file.
Note that this only takes effect if you do it *before* cc-mode.el is
loaded.
<P>
If you typically edit more than one style of C (or C++, Objective-C,
Java) code in a single Emacs session, you may want to make the CC Mode 
style variables have buffer local values.  By default, all buffers
share the same style variable settings; to make them buffer local, set 
c-style-variables-are-local-p to t in your .emacs file.  Note that you 
must do this *before* CC Mode is loaded.
