>Organization:
Individual
>Environment:

3.2-RELEASE and 2.2.8-RELEASE

>Description:

	fmt(1) removes "non-printable" characters, including ISO Latin1 128-255
    characters.

>How-To-Repeat:

    Snarf an 8-bit-text file from somewhere and run it through fmt.

>Fix:

The following inelegant patch simply comments out the offending test.  A more
elegant solution would continue to discard characters below 040 octal while
passing characters 177 and up.
