well, what about printing the text two columns to a page? or
in landscape mode with three columns per page?
otherwise, a quick hack that will do the stripping eol trick is to
rename the (pure text) file to .html, and then lynx -dump it, or
print it from your favorite web-browser.
oh, and i'm pretty sure vim can do stuff with newlines, i'd have
to do some grepping through my mbox to find it but i had to sit
down and figure that out at some point. regardless, if you want
speed i think the previously mentioned hack might do the trick.
