|
|
standard input.

|
|
with no breaks between the pages.

|
|
Several
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], \\,
|
|
^, _, {, }, |, and ~.
|
|
Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny looking (but in a useful way.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.
|
|
The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
|
|
Sometimes it runs letters together.
