22 Jul 2005	Steve Hoelzer	Really nice! Lots of options and fast. I can't wait to use this during the next MATLAB contest.
06 Oct 2005	Alberto Zin	Hi Pascal, good tool. Only be careful in using the spacing "+" and "-" option: if your code has constants like 1.e+5 spacing it results in 1.e + 5 which will be unreadable by the interpreter. Anyway, thanks so much for it.

13 Oct 2005	David Price	This appears to be a useful tool; but it has bugs. For example, it sometimes deletes the end-of-line comments in the first line of code, without being asked to do so. It also gets confused with continued lines of code: sometimes not inserting spaces as requested when a line is continued, and moving the '...' to the next line, voiding the continuation.
13 Oct 2005	sarada seereddy	It is a good tool.So far i did'nt have any problem and i feel that some more features should be added to it.
08 Apr 2008	Steve Ratts	Is this code still being maintained? If so, where can I report a bug? Also, would it be possible to request a new feature? Specifically, I'd like a switch to be able to force a single space after a comma when the comma is separating a list of items, i.e. bewteen (), [], or {}.
