Yes, it is published by MMC AD Systems and is called "C Programmer's
Toolbox/MPW".  It consists of 20 tools including CPrint (the one you
requested).  The retail list price is $295.  All the tools support a
very nice Commando interface.

The sources to the unix tool, indent, is available from the uumac net archive.
It looks like it could be ported to MPW without too many difficulties, but
maintenance could be a nightmare as the code looked like coiled vermicelli
to me -- which was the reason I went with a commercial, supported product.
