A little while back, there were some posts about
printing out color-syntax copies of idl code.

I dug around and found a old newgroup post that
described a useful function that sounds like it would
accomplish the task, alhtough I haven't used it.

Here is the link that I found:

< http://www.kilvarock.com/freesoftware/utilities/printa2ps.ht m>

Description:
PrintA2PS

When called as a macro under the Windows IDLDE this will create a
chroma-coded print
of the source code of the active IDLDE Edit window.

Apart from the IDL PrintA2PS.PRO routine, it uses the commmon A2PSutility to
do the chroma coding, and a freeware utility called PrintFile to handle the
printing.

PrintFile comes from : http://www.lerup.com/printfile but can be downloaded
below.

A2PS-DOS.EXE is slightly over a megabyte is size and should be downloaded
from the link at the bottom of this page.





Cheers,

bob
