- I have been working on a set of code format
- recommendations, similar to the C style guide. I'm not
- done yet, but was hoping to be before the sources group got
- started. If there's interest, I'll post some drafts next
- week.

- As for code formatters, no, I haven't seen any, though
- I've heard there are some. If the code to be formatted is
- really bad, the formatter would almost need to be written
- in PostScript or possess big chunks of a PostScript
- interpreter. I'd be willing to try to give an alleged
- formatter a heart attack. :-)
