Hi everyone:

This is a repost of a request I made for a C pretty printer program.  I
received a number of responses regarding this request, however as I
neglected to provide enough information none of them were particularly
useful to me.

I was wondering -- is there a public domain or shareware program out 
there for MS-DOS machines that will print my ANSI C source to my line 
printer (not postscript!) with functions bolded, comments italicized, etc?

I'm not necessarily looking for a formatter, I prefer my own "style" of 
code and don't want anyone/thing messing with it.  But something to 
output the program to the printer in an intuitive fashion would be great!

I'm not willing to undertake a major programming endeavour, and am hoping
to find something out there ready to use -- but I don't rule out porting
something over from Unix (provided it is simple enough to do).

Thanks in advance.  Please respond via e-mail as I do not have read 
access to these groups, I'll be more than happy to follow-up with a 
summary of replies received.
