No. Those don't format this kind of text. He's looking for something
that takes old style (pre-ANSI) C code and converts it to ANSI C.

I have never encountered a kr2ansi converter that even came
close to being complete. I could generally do it faster by 
hand. Maybe that's the reason there's so much k&r code in
my /usr/src directory.
