sdesc: Greatly enhanced 'fmt' type paragraph reformatter.
ldesc: Greatly enhanced 'fmt' type paragraph reformatter by Adam
M. Costello. Can be used within vi or other editor to automatically
reformat text in a variety of ways. Perfect for use with email 
usenet messages as it correctly handles multiple levels of quoting
characters.
category: Text
requires: cygwin

An example:

   Before:

  /*   We the people of the United States, */
  /* in order to form a more perfect union, */
  /* establish justice, */
  /* insure domestic tranquility, */
  /* provide for the common defense, */
  /* promote the general welfare, */
  /* and secure the blessing of liberty */
  /* to ourselves and our posterity, */
  /* do ordain and establish the Constitution */
  /* of the United States of America. */

   After par 59:

  /*   We the people of the United States, in  */
  /* order to form a more perfect union, establish */
  /* justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide */
  /* for the common defense, promote the general   */
  /* welfare, and secure the blessing of liberty   */
  /* to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain */
  /* and establish the Constitution of the United  */
  /* States of America.*/

 Jari,

 Please check the existing packages before ITPing stuff.  There already is
 par in Cygwin, and it's even newer than what you've ITP'd:
 http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=bin%2Fpar%28%5C.exe%7C+%7C%24%29.

I'd also say: Reply to the aterm and any other issues of your
ITP before proposing other packages.
