	  _B_r is	a simple text formatter	which reads the	standard input
	  and produces on standard output a version of its input with
	  lines	less than than 'width' characters long by breaking up 
          the input lines.  Spacing of the input lines is preserved in the
	  output, as are blank lines. Long words are hyphenated.

	  _B_r is	meant to format	mail messages prior to sending,	but
	  may also be useful for other simple tasks. A simple example
	  is the poor person's way to get 2 column printing:
		br 60 <foo|pr -2w132|lp

	  _B_r_t is an experimental version that indents the later	parts
	  of broken lines.

	  The program was designed to be simple	- for more complex
	  operations, the standard text	processors are likely to be
	  more appropriate.  The program only accepts a	file from
	  standard input 'cos I'm in a hurry...It will not handle 
          widths less than 10 or greater than 250.
