The name of the program was PPP - Pretty Print Pascal.  The heading of
this program's help output reads:

    Korrekter Aufruf:  PPP von <nach> <wie> <schalter>
            Beispiel:  PPP Test.pas prn necp6 -p

. . . and so forth in German.  The program documentation is a combination
of German and English.  The author is listed as Michael Keukert with an
e-mail address of PMK@CIP-S01.INFORMATIK.RWTH-AACHEN.DE.  I have done my
best to play around with the parameters, and can't quite infer a trans-
lation from this.  If someone out there has a translation, or better yet,
an English-documented version of the source (or an English-language patch
for the help output), please post it.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who
would find it useful.
