you can use negative numbers instead (which should be opk for you if you
usualy use a terminal with 120chars wide but want to break long lines at 100
chars use -20, for the rare cases when you use a terminal with other
dimensions the txt will not wrap at 100 chars, but it will always wrap).

ppl. might only be interrested in the beginning of the long lines (or only
in the short lines, eg. in binaries groups with yenc postings in it, long
lines are binaries parts, short lines are text pro/epilogs).
