I must admit it does sound weak.  I do know that I attempted to
get GNU indent to do what I wanted, but it ended up being easier
to fix up INDENT than to work GNUINDENT.  Maybe there was something
else that I have forgotten.

Anyway, even with the remtab program (which I have put in OZPD),
the filenames are generated automatically by indent, backup files
and all that, so it is better if it is self-contained.

I have been able to get INDENT to do what I want.

Oh, and one of the programs had problems with comments such as:

/**********************************/
/*                                */
/*      hi                        */
/**********************************/

etc.  I didn't go an modify INDENT to fix up things like UL as well
as L, just for fun.

BFN.  Paul.
