Curly

                        For C programmers

     This program is designed to help anybody who does a lot of C 
debugging.  If  you  ever suffer that annoying little problem  of 
unmatched curly braces,  this may help. I got sick of printing my 
C  programs and marking all the routines enclosed by each set  of 
matched curly braces so I wrote a program to do it for me.
     As it is set,  it will take up to 250 line programs of lines 
no  more than 80 characters long.  You may also have  your  brace 
nestings go about 10 deep. All these constants are defined in the 
first few lines of the program so (memory permitting),  feel free 
to change them.
     The  print  out is very simple.  You just get a normal  dump 
except  that every line is pushed across about 8 or 9  characters 
(depending on how deep your biggest nesting is) and down the left 
hand  side  of the paper you get  some  funny  characters.  These 
consist of '+' and '!'.  A '+' tells you where the curly brace is 
and the '!' covers all the area in between.
     You  needn't bother about braces enclosed in single,  double 
quotes  or comment markers ('/*' and '*/').  I have  allowed  for 
them.
     To start the program once it has been compiled, just type

A>curly filename1 filename2

     The  filename1 does not need a .c on the end but if that  or 
anything else is specified, it will be accepted. Filename2 is not 
even necessary.  If it is not included, the adjusted file will be 
saved as filename1 with .CUR on the end.  If it is included,  the 
filename will be saved as it with its '.ending' or .CUR if one is 
omitted.
     The appropriate error messages have been included for  those 
of  us  who try to CURLY a program that doesn't exist or ends  in 

filename2 it will be overwritten.
     This version in written for BDS C Version 1.5 so if you have 
another, you may have to do some adapting.

                         Happy debugging
