10 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
11 | .I Fmt | |
12 | is a simple text formatter which reads the concatenation of input | |
13 | files (or standard input if none are given) and produces on | |
14 | standard output a version of its input with lines as close to | |
15 | 72 characters long as possible. The spacing at the beginning | |
16 | of the input lines is preserved in the output, as are blank lines | |
17 | and interword spacing. | |

26 | .SH BUGS | |
27 | The program was designed to be simple and fast \- for more complex | |
28 | operations, the standard text processors are likely to be more appropriate. |
