This is GNU Indent 1.7 for the Amiga.

Indent allows you to reformat any C program the way you like.  I  have
included a  TeX'd version of  the documentation since  not  all people
have  texindex.  So  print  the  file  "indent.dvi"  to  get  all  the
information you need about using indent.

I have ported indent using SAS/C 5.10.  I  don't  know whether it will
compile  with Aztec  or DICE.  See below  for instructions on  how  to
compile indent. The  changes I  had to  make are  listed  in the  file
"amiga.diffs" (context-diffs).

Please note that I had to emulate  the wildcard expansion that typical
Unix shells do. Therefore you can type "indent source/#?/#?.[ch]" just
like in the Unix-version of indent.

If  you have  Kickstart 2.0  installed, copy "c/indent-kick-2.0"  to a
directory  in  your path and  rename  it  to  "indent".   This version
supports  all DOS 2.0 patterns. If you want to  recompile indent, just
type "lmk -f Makefile.amiga".

If   you  have  Kickstart   1.3  installed,   you  should  first  copy
"libs/arp.library" to "LIBS:". Then copy "c/indent-arp-kick-1.3"  to a
directory  in  your  path  and rename it  to  "indent".   This version
supports  all ARP V39.1 patterns. If you  want to recompile, you first
have to patch  the source files by typing "patch  <arp-kick-1.3.diffs"
and then "lmk -f Makefile.amiga". กกกกก Note  !!!!! If you  don't have
"arp.library" V39 installed in "LIBS:", wildcard patterns simply won't
be expanded.  In that  case you  will have to use  a  shell that  does
wildcard-expansion for you.

Indent  first  looks  for  the  profile  ".indent.pro"  in the current
directory and  then in "S:". The backup file names indent uses are the
same as in  David  Gay's  brilliant  port of GNU Emacs 18.58.  If  the
environment variable "VERSION_CONTROL" is set to "simple", backup file
names will be constructed  by  appending "!"  to the filename: "foo.c"
becomes  "foo.c!". If it is set to "numbered_existing" (the  default),
and if numbered backups already  exist, or if it is set to "numbered",
backup file names will look like this: "foo.c.!<num>!", where <num> is
one greater than the highest current version  number. If it  is set to
"never", no backups will be made.

If  you think that you have found some bugs that are specific  to  the
Amiga-version of indent (e.g. something  that works on a  Unix-machine
and not on your Amiga), send an E-mail to

carsten.steger@informatik.tu-muenchen.de

Please send generic  bug-reports directly to the  authors,  as I  will
only forward  them.  (Since  I'm working on my thesis  I don't have as
much time as I would like to respond to mail). The address is:

bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu



Have fun!
