[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] text formatter?

dkonerding@eagle.wesleyan.edu (Rafael Juarez, SCA) (10/07/90)

	Hi!  I have a slight problem, and I'm _sure_ there's some binary out
there which will help me, but I can't find it.

	The problem is: I've hooked up an old Imagewriter I to my IBM.  It
works great, in that printed formatted text files work.  However, the text
editor/word processor I use to edit my files cannot create text files which
have extra blank lines in them (so that I don't get a straight printout, often
overrunning the page breaks) every 66 lines or so, and I don't feel like
putting them in myself.

	Is there a program which _will_ insert blanks into my text file so I
can print it out and have it look _decent_?

	Thanks.
