If +.B \-w +is given, the output is scrunched down from a width of 132 to +.I n , +suitable for a narrow terminal. If +.I n +is omitted, it defaults to 80. +.PP +The output should be printed on a hard-copy device, up to 132 columns wide, +with no breaks between the pages. The volume is great enough that you +may want +a printer or a fast hardcopy terminal, but if you are patient, a +decwriter or other 300 baud terminal will do. +.SH BUGS +Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], \\, +^, _, {, }, |, and ~. Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny +looking (but in a useful way.) +.PP +The +.B \-w +option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns. +The smaller it gets, the grainier the output. +Sometimes it runs letters together. +.SH AUTHOR +Mark Horton |
