I do recall a while back (<yr>3mths?) that either the source or
mod diffs to the program indent was posted to the net. Indent
does alot of gee whiz stuff, but I use it over cb.
As for as PD status is, the README file says:
"This is the C indenter, it originally came from the
University of Illinois via some distribution tape for PDP-11
Unix. It has subsequently been hacked upon by James Gosling
@ CMU. It isn't very pretty, and really needs to be
completely redone, but it is probably the nicest C pretty
printer around."
The actual source code(s) include the following:
