indent(1) on unix systems is easily ported to TurboC 2.0.  I did it
last summer, but haven't used it since.  The code was written years ago.
Don't ask me for source. Although the same source exists on all the
machines we have (Sun, MIPS, IBM-RT, IRIS) it still has the vendor's
copyright on it.

Here's the copyright comment from one of the source files:

NAME:
indent main program
  
FUNCTION:
This is the main program of the indent program.  Indent will take a C
program source and reformat it into a semi-reasonable form.
  
ALGORITHM:
The routine lexi scans tokens and passes them back one at a time to the
main routine.  The subroutine parse takes care of much of the work of
figuring indentation level.  
  
1) Call lexi
2) Enter a monster switch statement on the code returned by lexi.  If 
the indentation level for the line yet to be printed should be 
changed, set the variable ps.ind_level.  If the indentation level for
the following line should be changed, set the variable ps.i_l_follow.
