# $EPIC: functions,v 1.3 2001/11/28 09:13:10 anders Exp $
Synopsis:
   load functions

Description:
   This script contains several functions useful in scripting for text
   display.  Of primary interest are $format() and $lformat().  They
   behave similarly to using the $[]var notation, except they will not
   truncate text that is wider than the specified width.

   Also included are $pluck(), $notword(), and $remove(), which are really
   just aliases to EPIC's built-in functions $remw(), $notw(), and $remw()
   (again).

   Refer to Section 6 of the help files for more information on the
   myriad functions built into the client.

   Expressions(7); load(5); notw(6); remw(6)

Other Notes:
   Originally, this script contained many more functions, and a number of
   aliases.  Though still present in the script source code, they are
   commented out, as they have been obsoleted by built-in capabilities of
   the client.  The original functions were authored by Ian Frechette
   (Daemon), frechett@spot.colorado.edu.
