	------
	Notes:

	-In UNIX you can send the postscript file directly to the 
	 printer by using the pipe symbol :

		formatb infile | lpr -Pprinter

	- In DOS you would use

		formatb infile -oLPT1

	-In UNIX, If you want line numbers on your file try this:

		cat -n  infile | formatb | lpr -Pprinter

	History

	This program was originally written in April of 1989 under
	the UNIX operating system for printing out source code listings 
	on a PostScript Printer for inclusion in a thesis.
	Programs FORMAT and FORMATA were earlier attempts at the
	same function. FORMATB was adapted for MS-DOS under version 1.5
	in August 1992.
