justify(a,n,w)               justify line

    Return string  w characters  long formed  by justifying  n elements  of
    array a padded with blanks.  If n elements of array A with at least one
    blank  between  elements  would  exceed  width  w,  then  the number of
    elements justified is reduced to fit in the length w.
