I am using Digital VWin 2.0,  and I am mildly frustrated by the lack of a code
reformatter. Many years ago I used such a reformatter on the Smalltalk-80 on a
Mac (the  version  that had just 1MB of RAM and a singlke floppy!), and I miss
it.

I notice that one  of the Digitalk "Goodies" disks contains a "prettyprinter",
but there are a couple of questions:

	- it is for V/286, not Vwin. How difficult would it be to port 
	  to VWin?
	- does it actually contain a code formatter, or is it just a means of
	  prettyprinting code on a printer?

Thanks
