TBFMT (1.9b) - by Unique Software Registration($25.00)
I suspect that this program has something to do with formatting Turbo
Basic source files, though I am unable to find any statement of its
purpose in the documentation. The following is most of the manual
without the licensing info and edit history.

Why doesn't TBFMT ...
We have attempted to account for numerous ways of programming in Turbo
Basic. When you find something that TBFMT doesn't do quite the way you
would like it, let us know. Many of TBFMT's features were suggested by
users. However, TBFMT cannot be all things to all people. If we
incorporated every request into TBFMT, the size of TBFMT would of course
grow rapidly but unfortunately the speed at which TBFMT operates would
also be degraded rapidly. We don't think that you, the users, would
mind a larger program, but a slower program is never welcome.
DO : WEND ? WHILE : LOOP
Yes these are valid Turbo Basic combinations. Therefore instead of
introducing numerous lines of code into TBFMT which would also degrade
performance, we have altered the variable indent width of both DO and
WHILE to four spaces. Therefore, if you use the variable indent width,
your WHILE loops may not look aligned properly but they will be what
TBFMT contains.
