% i find fmt to be more standard across unicies.

Actually, I've found the BSD fmt to be not equal to the GNU or [presumably
ATT, since it "works" in Solaris, but that's funny since SunOS harkens
back to BSD!] fmt, so the quick fix was to change my .exrc file to the
BSD version when I changed servers but that then breaks whenever I pull
my environment down to a new (typically Solaris or Linux) box.  Rather
than muck about with different exrc options, I'll just add fmt to my tree
of installed software such as vim -- and since I'll be installing something,
I'll just use the much more powerful par instead (haven't done that last
step yet :-)

But standard, I'm sorry to have found, it ain't.

As far as this thread goes, I just leave the line unwrapped.  Not only
is it my personal standard to not reformat anyone's text,  I think it's
quite funny when LookOut! breaks a line in the utterly dumbest place,
which is often what happens :-)
