[comp.lang.idl-pvwave] IDL/WAVE pretty printer.

YIPPIE!! Our own group!!!

To get things started... (I've been saving this one)... I have written
an IDL/PV-WAVE source code pretty printer (in C,lex,yacc). It does
stuff like checking syntax, fixing indentation, removing/inserting
line continuations, and it writes out escape sequences for 'enscript'
to print comments, keywords, and other stuff in different fonts. I
have to make some changes to make it generic enough for posting (it
uses some fairly extensive local libraries), so for now I'd just like
to get a feeling for how many would be interested in something like
this. Please reply via e-mail.

I'm also trying to work on an emacs mode for IDL, but am not making
much headway... I need a manual for e-lisp... can't get the hang of
these on-line manuals.
