(shrug) But I'll bet the c++ parser is > really well tested though.. The way that it figures out how to pretty-print is fairly simplistic and it does get confused at times. The authors of the the perl style sheet (/usr/share/a2ps/sheets/perl.ssh on my box) go so far as to say: "As most interpreted languages, Perl is very free on its syntax, what" "leads to significant problems for a pretty printer. Please, be kind" "with our try. Any improvement is most welcome." The c++ pretty-print does occasionally bold something spurious, but I still find it very useful when reviewing source code in bed. I especially like the companion pdiff program which produces a nice word-based (as opposed to line-based) diff output. There are a lot of options in (/etc/a2ps.cfg and /etc/a2ps-site.cfg) that you'll probably want to tweak to get the output just-so. You may also need to tweak sheet.map depending on how you name your source files. -Scott. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
