To start with, yes, but there's only about 7 pages on the Pretty Printer
in TR93-17, whereas the one John quoted [which is really AIM-1102,
after you drill down through the DSpace re-org of the AI docs!] has
the full 46-page original "XP" paper.

p.s. Of course, TR93-17 *also* has the MACROEXPAND-ALL tutorial...
