+.SH NAME
+fmt \- simple text formatter
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B fmt
+[
+name ...
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Fmt
+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 spacing at the beginning
+of the input lines is preserved in the output, as are blank lines
+and interword spacing.
+.PP
+.I Fmt
+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
+.I ex
+editor (e.g.
+.IR vi )
+the command
+.br
+	!}fmt
+.br
+will reformat a paragraph,
+evening the lines.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+nroff(1), mail(1)
+.SH AUTHOR
+Kurt Shoens
+.SH BUGS
+The program was designed to be simple and fast \- for more complex
+operations, the standard text processors are likely to be more appropriate.
