I'm looking for something like.

Code Editor - written by Adrian Lock

This program has been written to allow source code to be
printed in a choice of styles. Many programmers, such as
students, are required to produce print outs of code for
assessment. Even the most up-to-date languages such as
Visual Basic 6, print the entire code in a fixed font
such as Courier New or Ariel. This program allows the
programmer to chose a different font and style for both
comments and code. This makes it far easier for whom ever
is reading the code to understand the program.

The program as default supports Visual Basic and Fortran
95 because these are the languages I use. I have also
included support for C/C++ because of its popularity. A
custom option has been included to allow any commenting
system to be dealt with. This requires the user to enter
the characters that mark the start (and end) of each
comment.

It appeared on a CDROM called Sims Programming Toolbox
99 published by Computer Sales Division of Milton Keynes
UK. CD had many programs for VB, C, Pascal, Perl, Java etc.

Unfortunately the program opens, parses, indents VB
code, produces an error code, then dies when you
close the error box. Error running under Win98 OS is
Run-time error 91, Object variable or With block not
set.

Program may be for Win95; or an earlier version of VB.

Anybody know of a similar program or later version of
this one?

Many thanks

Tried that but Adrian Lock, his website, and FTP seem
to be dead. Potentially a valuable program if I could
find a working version or something like it.
