Does anybody on the net know of a program that will take a 
PostScript file and format it so it is much more "readable"?

By "readable", I mean that procedures, definitions, etc.
are formatted and indented in a fashion as the cb 
(c beautifier) program.

I wrote such a program a while ago (undoubtedly because I had to look
at some PostScript file that was confusing).  The program I wrote was
called "psformat" and should be available from the Adobe archive
server.  Send mail to "ps-file-server@adobe.com" with a message saying
"send programs psformat.shar" (file name is from memory and may be
wrong).  I hope that's what you were looking for...
