A year or so ago, I wrote a program for printing source files written in a
Pascal-like language, with THINK Pascal-inspired headers and boldfaced
keywords. (The language is being used at UNC, and its Macintosh implementation
printed files *incredibly* slowly.)

I don't know if it would help, but it shouldn't be terribly hard to modify the
program to recognize Pascal instead, so you could use it for printing purposes.
Of course, if you meant plain text rather than source, that would be easy.

Does anyone else need something of this sort?
