VIC listing program

Hello all,
Though I've quite literally just joined Denial -- I only found it today -- I've been a VIC user on and off for all of my life. (Quick intro: my parents bought me one, brand new, back in 1981 or thereabouts, when I was... ahem... younger than I am now.)
Well, here I am. And I wanted to begin by offering you a little application I wrote a few years ago when I returned to poking at the VIC after a time away. Basically, it generates PDF listings of programs. That's all. Nothing very exciting. But I find it useful for digging into things, and it pleases the nostalgic side of me with memories of typing in print listings in various levels of generational decay.
If you're interested, please feel free to download it here.

Thank you, and best wishes,
~M

There seems to be more functionalities in the repository tools other than just list programs to pdf.
For the record VICE can print listings to bmp if you configure the printer, and can copy and paste text to and from the editor (as long as there are no control characters). But your approach looks more flexible.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks, I'll certainly take a look.

Yes: I was still new to Git at the time and just threw everything up there.
It also occurred to me that the extra modules might come in useful to others, so I never went back to remove them.

I didn't know either of those things: thank you.
And, my pleasure. It's nice to find a group of people at last who might find a use for it.
