I do recall a while back (<yr>3mths?) that either the  source  or
mod  diffs  to  the program indent was posted to the net.  Indent
does alot of gee whiz stuff, but I use it over cb.

As for as PD status is, the README file says:

     "This is  the  C  indenter,  it  originally  came  from  the
     University of Illinois via some distribution tape for PDP-11
     Unix.  It has subsequently been hacked upon by James Gosling
     @  CMU.  It  isn't  very  pretty,  and  really  needs  to be
     completely redone, but it is probably the  nicest  C  pretty
     printer around."

The actual source code(s) include the following:
