Hi Mike

There's a program (DBG040R3) in my DBG/400 package that does word
wrapping. Pass it X lines of Y long in an array and the max length Z to
wrap to and it passes back an array of lines word wrapped to that length,
along with the resultant number of lines. It's actually RPG400 code, but
it works well so I've not seen a reason to change it. If you want it grab
the dbg400.zip package from http://www.dbg400.net/dbg400.html and scan
the ALLSRCMBRS file for DBG040R3.

Regards, Martin
