Good source code formatter for Summer '87 code

Like it or not, I've just become responsible for a POS application
written in Summer '87. I know I will need to eventually upgrade to
the latest version, but for now I'm just trying to get organized.
First order of business is to make the code a bit more readable. Can
anyone recommend a good source code formatter?

I admit I only glanced at Snap. The first page of the docs:
SNAP!
Version 5.0
Documentation and Development System
for FoxPro, dBASE, Clipper,
and Other X-Base Systems
I guess is what threw me. I barely skimmed the index and it looked
like it was a lot more than what I was asking for (just a source code
reformatter for Clipper Summer '87 code) so I didn't give it a
thorough read. I may go back and do that now. Thanks for the heads
up.

Scott,

xMate Project Manager includes a built-in configurable source code
formatter.
