Has anyone hacked together a simple sed-like script or c program that
takes SQL*FORMS .inp files and reformats them into something legible ? I have
a .inp file whose trigger steps I wish to debug urgently and am faced with
the task of reading the cryptic file. I am taking this approach rather than
using SQL*FORMS directly because SQL*FORMS (or at least the version I am using,
2.0) is sadly inadequate for following multiple trigger steps.

Any help would be appreciated.
