Can someone point me in the direction of a text formater that is similar to
the C programs adj or fill that can be used with Vi on a PC. I use adj on
our Unix system :!}adj and it works great but is it or something like it
also available for the PC?

NAME
adj - fill and adjust text lines
SYNOPSIS
adj [ -h ] [ -n ] [ -p ] [ -w n1,... ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
Adj copies the given file (standard input if none is given)
to the standard output, filling lines and adjusting the
right margin. Indentation and empty lines are preserved.
Normally, words (uninterrupted sequences of non-blank char-
acters) are not broken, unless the -h (hyphen) flag is
given.
The -n (no adjust) prevents adj from adjusting the right
margin.
If the -p (paragraph) option is specified, indentation is
preserved only on the first line of a paragraph, assuming
paragraphs are separated by empty lines.
The -w n (width) option sets the line width to n (default
65). When given as -w n1,n2,... (a comma-separated sequence
of numbers) the output lines will be n1, n2 etc. characters
long, respectively. When the sequence is exhausted, it is
restarted.

BUGS
-n does not break words intelligently.
Change of indentation is done ungracefully.
There's probably a better way tp specify line lengths.
