- OK, Folks, a 'pretty printer' is a program which formats source code into a
- pleasing and useful form for study and documentation. Usually with options
- like line and Page numbers, sometimes an Index, etc.
-
- Vgrind is a system on bsd (sources are available, 'cause my system didn't come
- with vgrind) to format files of varying source formats.
