WARNINGS

This program is designed to be simple and fast. It does not recognize backslash to escape white space or other characters. It does not recognize tagged paragraphs where the tag is on a line by itself. It knows that lines end in newline or null, and how to deal with tabs and backspaces, but it does not do anything special with other characters such as form feed (they are simply ignored). For complex operations, standard text processors are likely to be more appropriate.

This program could be implemented instead as a set of independent programs, ®ll, center, and justify (with the -roption). However, this would be much less ef®cient in actual use, especially given the program's special knowledge of tagged paragraphs and last lines of paragraphs.
