Hmm.  Neither do I and, in fact, well...I just do it manually.  Which Ifeel very sheepish admitting because that's kind of ridiculous.  Buteverybody writing for Gopherspace (which is many people here) must faceprecisely this problem, because hard-wrapping is basically compulsorythere.  What are other people doing, writing in "long line" form andthen feeding the result to `fmt` or `par` before uploading?
