I'll second that. We created a pretty-printer for Janus/Ada years ago with the idea of using it to put all of our code into a common style. The results were not very pleasing and we never ended up using it. We still provide it to customers, but I don't think many are using it, as I've not had much luck using it. Once (not that long ago) I found that it made a complete mess out of task type declarations - it turned out they'd never been implemented at all. You'd think someone would report such things if they cared... Randy. -- Si les chats miaulent et font autant de vocalises bizarres, c'est pas pour les chiens. "I am fluent in ASCII" [Warren 2010]
