Why not get the one from GNU?  Geez, it's free, tastes great and is less
filling!  Anonymous login to prep.ai.mit.edu, then cd to u2/emacs.  Bin
get indent-1.1.tar.Z then uncompress and tar extract.
Yes, there are one or two things to make the code work as a tool, but nothing
major.  It was the first thing I ported to MPW.
Mail me if you get stuck.  DO NOT pay ca. $300 for a formatting utility that's
out in the PD.  Geez.
