PROGRAM:
2UP - Format text into one or more columns.
USAGE:
2UP [<fid [-Nn] [-Cn] [-Ln] [-Mn] [-Sn] [-H] [>fid]
FUNCTION:
This is a pure filter which formats text into one or more columns.
It has several parameters which can be set on the command line.
-Ln sets the page length. Default is 66. Maximum is 88.
-Mn sets the left margin width. It is normally zero.
-Cn sets the column width after the left margin. Defaults to
divide 80 columns evenly.
-Nn Sets the number of columns from 1 to 99. 2 is default.
-Sn Sets the spacing between columns. Default is zero.
-H displays the available options.
EXAMPLE:
LS *.* |2UP -L22 -L5 {Shows file names nicely.}
2UP <FILE.TXT -M10 -C28 -S4 <FILE.TXT {Nice vertical 2 column print}
2UP <FILE.TXT -M10 -N1 >FILE.TXT {Puts a margin on text.}
COMMENTS:
Lines with backspaces or cr will not work properly with this
program. It counts the number of characters without regard for
non-printing characters.
Output generated by a text formatter or by page works well with
this as long as underlining, bolding or other overstrike
actions are not done.
Maximum column width is 132 characters.
