Dealing with paragraphs consisting of just one long line a feature to
add a newline at the end would be handy. At the moment I'm using this
command to turn DOS like files into files following unix conventions:
tr -d '\15' <$f | sed 's/\([[:alnum:]].*\)$/\1\n/' | fmt
There is probably a better way to accomplish such a job.
I will attach an eample file; it is a page of a German encyclopedia from
1888-90 (Meyers Konversationslexikon):
