Ah, but they come out coloured already in my newsreader (it thinks they are differing levels of quoting...) -- Ivan Reid, Electronic & Computer Engineering, ___ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

OK, next time I'll limit the source code to alt.sources, or maybe find another free web hoster that lets me store source code files. Didn't occur to me that some Usenet reading programs make you read everything. As to the Ben Pfaff, who prefered identation, I do that on my own code. It's good enough for short programs, if I make no mistakes. But the next time someone hands you a 20000 or so line legacy program developed by 200 people over 30 years, that no one alive understands, you may appreciate whatever help you can get. There is a lot of code out there like that. The definition of a professional is that you do what you are payed to do. Brooks Moses's idea of coloring indentation stuff to make it more clear sounds neat. But a lot of work - I was trying to stay away from postscript.

Well... my favourite text editor already does what your program do and does it live while I'm editing code. On top of that it also *highlights* the relevant line when the cursor is on either the opening or closing brace {}. On top of that it does syntax highlighting. On top of that it also allows me to fold sections of code to temporarily hide things I'm not interested in (and remember this is "live" while I'm editing). And to top it all off it can print, save as RTF save as PDF and save as HTML the nicely formatted code along with the nice lines. The only difference is that my editor draws lines based on indentation while your program auto-indent and draws lines based on braces. But that's OK, that's what "indent" is for. Oh and yes my editor supports syntax of more than 40 different languages including C/C++, Tcl, Fortan, Forth, VB, Perl...
