- _F_m_t is a simple text formatter which reads the concatenation
- of input files (or standard input if none are given) and
- produces on standard output a version of its input with
- lines as close to 72 characters long as possible. The spac-
- ing at the beginning of the input lines is preserved in the
- output, as are blank lines and interword spacing.
-
- _F_m_t is meant to format mail messages prior to sending, but
- may also be useful for other simple tasks. For instance,
- within visual mode of the _e_x editor (e.g. _v_i) the command
- !}fmt
- will reformat a paragraph, evening the lines.

- The program was designed to be simple and fast - for more
- complex operations, the standard text processors are likely
- to be more appropriate.
