- _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 _w_i_d_t_h 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. The
- default _w_i_d_t_h is 72 characters.
-
- _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, justifying 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.
