Excerpt of article text...

One of the most difficult things to get used to for me in moving to REALbasic from a C/C++ world was the difficulty involved in getting a good hard copy of source code printed out. REALbasic's print function tends to have some problems, and exporting the source to print in another application causes a loss of some important formatting information. Satori Publishing has made an effort to solve these problems for REALbasic programmers with their RB Source Code Printer.

The RB Source Code Printer does a fantastic job of generating hard copy printouts. It features more advanced formatting than is provided in the basic, plain text exporting from REALbasic. It also provides a table of contents of all modules, windows, and classes in your project, as well as an alphabetized index of every subroutine and function in your project. The more advanced text formatting combined with these organizational tools make printouts generated by RB Source Code Printer much more readable than the alternatives.

The interface is hardly elegant, but it is functional and gets the job done without any problems. The user imports a copy of source code exported from REALbasic, gives that source code a title, and tells the application to print their project. In its preferences, RB Source Code Printer allows its users to set page layout margins and font face and size. Overall, the user experience is perfectly adequate for standard usage.
