I didn't realize! My code is even less elegant than the name I chose. :-)
You can still do this:
$ cc fmtroff.c -o $HOME/bin/roffmt

The '-n' option (present in OpenBSD version) formats *also* lines
beggining with a dot ('fmtroff -h' will show you the options.) I
included that feature to use it with email. Using '-t' or no option
should NOT touch anything in lines beggining with a dot character.
