Does anyone know of or have a formatter to make PostScript look nice?
My problem is that DEC, with their LN03R ScriptPrinter software, sends
a bunch of PostScript in a text library.  (Some of the code supposedly
carries on an iteractive conversation with the print symbiont for
accounting purposes.)  They have squeezed the code into approx 80
column records, which make it next to impossible to read.  (Lord knows
it's not easy to read even when it's properly formatted :-).  Undoing it
by hand is the least desirable solution.
