Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Messages are limited to 1024 characters in length.
