Well... my favourite text editor already does what your program do and
does it live while I'm editing code. On top of that it also
*highlights* the relevant line when the cursor is on either the opening
or closing brace {}. On top of that it does syntax highlighting. On top
of that it also allows me to fold sections of code to temporarily hide
things I'm not interested in (and remember this is "live" while I'm
editing). And to top it all off it can print, save as RTF save as PDF
and save as HTML the nicely formatted code along with the nice lines.
The only difference is that my editor draws lines based on indentation
while your program auto-indent and draws lines based on braces. But
that's OK, that's what "indent" is for. Oh and yes my editor supports
syntax of more than 40 different languages including C/C++, Tcl,
Fortan, Forth, VB, Perl...
