I may wirte asimple one myself, if necessary. I have been working on a set of code format recommendations, similar to the C style guide. I'm not done yet, but was hoping to be before the sources group got started. If there's interest, I'll post some drafts next week. As for code formatters, no, I haven't seen any, though I've heard there are some. If the code to be formatted is really bad, the formatter would almost need to be written in PostScript or possess big chunks of a PostScript interpreter. I'd be willing to try to give an alleged formatter a heart attack. :-) ab
