+# This is a simple little program for formatting text.
+# When I'm posting messages to messageboards like LWN.net, I often like to
+# quote another poster. The traditional way to do this is to put carats
+# before his text, like this:
+#
+# > quoted text goes here
+# reply goes here 
+#
+# This script will add the carats to source text. It will also do
+# line-wrapping at 76 characters along the way.
