Rather than develop a set of standards and adhere to them, the software
group I just joined decided to let everyone write C their own way.
Then, they use a filtering program called "sprint" in MS-DOS to line
everything up and draw lots of vertical lines so that one may actually
decipher the intentions of the last programmer to work on the code.

Since the code actually resides on a VAX and we move it down to our
various personal computers to work on it, I thought it would be okay if
I used my Mac to work on the code.  Silly me.  The code is so hard to
read that I am now in need of a utility similar to "sprint" for the Mac.
Is there such a thing?  Is there anything in MPW that will help this
situation?  Is it possible and worth the trouble to write a script in MPW
to do this beautification?
