Oyster, here.
This note is to share with you the exciting night I had the other month. It

Prolly a pretty good yarn. But, after 60 years my brain is canalized
for normal line character lengths of ~65 or ~78 [8-1/2" W page, 1"
margins, Pica or Elite respectively], and your format-flowed is
flowing across my 19" monitor at 1024 x 768 at about 2 or 2-1/4 times
that. My eye can see it, but my brain gets tired of trying to make
sense of it.

Worked fine on my machine.

This happened about 1999 (I think)... Oyster got hired by United and I
suspect is furloughed now. He is a great guy. Used to fly A-6's and has a
pretty colorful ejection tale from that airplane.

He left the Navy with two really good stories.
