port of fmt?

2007-10-11 Thread David Epstein
Gnu's version of fmt contains a feature that I need, and which is not available from /usr/bin/fmt. I tried port search fmt and got no relevant hits. Is this available under MacPorts? If not how could I request it for the future? Thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED]
