description

This Pascal program takes ASCII text and filters it.  Lines longer than the
constant maxline are altered by replacing the first space after position
maxline with a carriage return.  This has the effect of wrapping the lines
between 'words'.

Unlike the ww program, wrapping continues for a paragraph.  Paragraphs
are separated by blank lines with no characters on them.

The program simulates the unix fmt but unfortunately can't
read the command line.

bugs

   The constant maxline is fixed at compile time, of course.
   This probably can be done using a gpc version eventually.
