[NEWBIE] Output Formatting.

Hi, Im wondering if anyone else out there has added something along the
lines of:  Code that takes a players screen width and height that
they have chosen, and word-wraps the output from the mud to fit into that
screen size.
Height is easy, but Im having a real fun time with width ie. word-wrap.
Im not necessarily after code - just an effecient algorithm.
I vaguely remember Daniel Koepke making a comment on this way back, but can't
find it in the mail archives.
If you can help and would rather not spam the list - mail me at
mud@hal9000.net.au
BTW I have been trying myself - but my solutions have been too messy to
even consider :P Thanks for your time and patience.

PS Anyone interested in a number parser for circle?
ie. get 3rd sword from 2nd bag, drop fifth axe etc.
Mine is almost finished (got a few other things to get out of the way first)
If so - Ill make some patches and upload it and a few other bits of code
to the FTP site.
