Yes, I have one.  I requested one from sources.wanted.  I recieved a
formatter designed for 'standard' (read old) Pascal.  I have extended
and modified it to handle various formatting styles and Turbo Pascal
syntax (including TP 5.5).  I have not completed modifications yet.

There are a couple of things I want to add before releasing it.  There are
MANY command line options.  The defaults are hardcoded to my preferences,
and I want to support a file of option settings that would be used
automatically, or be overridden by a command line option.

Hopefully I will get around to finishing it up soon, and then I will
post it for furthur testing.
