I pulled three versions off of the simtel site (actually the
wuarchive.wustl.edu site) and had all three working within one day.  I
stuck with one that seemed to be the best.  It still has it's problems
(DON'T run it on code that has rep specs) but it makes the code readable
for the most part, and consistent.  Those of us that have rep specs just
"pretty up" the code ourselves.

I have the .com files to compile these, but acs load *.ada and acs recomp *
will work just as well.  Email me if you want to know more.
