Hi all.

I have a file consisting of some lines that have 80 chars or fewer,
and some with more than 80 characters (in fact, some may have more
than 160 characters).  I wish to break up only the >80-char lines, so
that no line has more than 80 chars.  

Here's the catch:  I want to break the long lines only at whitespace.
Thus, I can't use 

	% fold -80 foo.tex

since a space in the middle of a word would be disatrous.

Any suggestions?
