Hey guys!  Last time I looked at a dBIII manual was for version 1.00 but tucked
neatly in the back of the manual was a formatter written in dBASEIII, itself.

Sooo, before spending dollars see if you can locate this little gem.  If its
not in the manual, I'll bet its in the Advanced Programmer's Guide from 
Ashton-Tate.  It indents properly, checks variable names for consistency
and even does some rudimentary lint-like things on the sources.
