! STAMPS - Programme five J.G.H. Summer 1978
! FORMAT programme to insert newlines into the output.
!
!
!
! This programme is designed to read an input stream and if
! the line is more than 70 characters long it will force a newline.
! If the programme contains newline characters before the 70th
! characters then these are printed and the character count restarts,
! until either the next NL is met or 70 characters are output.
! The reason for this is that output for the Feranti Master Plotter
! will contain no NLs so that Input Buffer Store may be used and if
! the output is to be sent to a line printer, or viewed on a terminal
! it must have these newlines inserted.
! So that the programme is of more general use, it can be
! applied to text files. If it is forced to break a line then
! it breaks it at the last space output on the line (if there
! was one). The master plotter input contains no spaces (except
! in 'Comment Modes', and these are treated as normal text).
