+/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
+ *
+ * Exercise 7-2: Write a program that will print arbitrary input in a sensible
+ * way. As a minimum, it should print non-graphic characters in octal or
+ * hexadecimal according to local custom, and break long text lines.
+ *
+ * Notes: I spent some time thinking about this one. I'm somewhat picky in how
+ * I expect text to be handled, but the requirements are Spartan. Therefore, I
+ * will provide a Spartan solution. :)
+ *
+ * Linux printf formats don't seem to allow for truncation of hex or octal,
+ * so there wasn't an (easy, cat-zero friendly) way to work with the widths
+ * produced by the format strings. However, the program compiles, it has
+ * argument switches, it smartly breaks lines, and expands non-printable
+ * characters. It does exactly what it's supposed to. :)
