Title:		par - reformat paragraph, with advanced pre/suffix handling
Version:	1.50
Entered-date:	04MAR96
Description:	par is a paragraph reformatter, vaguely similar to fmt, but
		better.  It is well suited for use on usenet articles 
		because it handles the quote prefixes intelligently; works
		smoothly from within vi.  For tips & updates, visit the Par
		Page at http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~amc/Par/. 
Keywords:	paragraph reformat intelligent fmt quoted text filter editor

Further-note:   The Minix version is the package above with a Makefile
                already configured to compile under Minix-1.7.X.  Flames

Minix notes:

This  is  a  versatile  text reformatting  utility  that  is
practically a required item  in anyone's /usr/bin directory.
It is  also refreshingly portable,  i.e. easy to  compile on
just  about  any  unix  system  with  an  ansi  C  compiler.
The  Makefile included  should  build  it under  Minix-1.7.X
without  a hitch.   Bother me  (seagull@osiris.isys.ca), not
the original author, if it doesn't :)

Just to show off the util, this note was formatted within vi
by calling par  with the arguments -j1g1w60  (ie [esc] !{par
-j1g1w60)
