I have written a PostScript pretty-printer, sort of.  It doesn't
actually print the output, it returns it to you as a file.  This is
useful for reformatting a program that has been compressed or written
to fill a very small amount of bytes, if you have to work on it or
understand it.  My program was written with the Unix "lex" utility,
although I think the resulting C program should work elsewhere.  You
can get a copy from our file server as follows:

	To: ps-file-server@adobe.COM
	From: you
	Subject: please
	--------

	send Programs psformat.shar

It is in "shar" format, which means it needs to get fed to /bin/sh.
Oh, and it roughly enforces my idea of PS indenting style, for whatever
it's worth (heh, heh).
