    What's a good software package for printing out code? I was just handed a large project written in VC++ IDE, and asked to find and analyze a few algorithms in it. I'd like to start by printing it (you know why -- so I can spread it out and look at lots of code sections at once). But I really dislike the way VC++ prints code, which doesn't look anything like what it displays on the screen (no colors, different font, etc.) Moreover, it looks like I would need to make a selection of each and every file that I want to print, which seems silly since I want them all. Can anyone recommend a good software package? I have a color printer, and would really prefer formatted printout in color.

      Our programmer's editor, ED for Windows does color syntax highlighting to color printers. You can just print a selection etc. I'd also suggest having a close look at its Source Database capabilities which provide excellent code navigation around large complex projects, especially if you are unfamiliar with the code base. There is also a very good multithreaded Find in Files and .... See the "Top 11 Fetaures" list and screen shots on our Web site for a quick overview. You can download a free trial from our Web site www.getsoft.com[^] Let me know if I can help with any other questions you may have.
