When I ran Linux, I wrote mail in Emacs, so I never got used to gfmt. When I switched to FreeBSD and later started writing mail in vi, I quickly upgraded from fmt to par, which is also in the ports collection. It handles wrapping quoted text, which is the only fancy feature I need ("par p2" if you have a two-character quote like "> " above). I do recall the multiple-file "tail -f" now that you mention it. It is a good feature for interactive use, I agree. Somebody wants to submit patches against our tail(1), right? :-) Matt -- Matthew Hunt * Stay close to the Vorlon. http://www.pobox.com/~mph/pgp.key for PGP public key 0x67203349.
