I found the source code for 'pico' and basically pasted in the 'justify'
code in place of the /f and /fi. However, it seems that feature-ful mud
clients don't read it correctly all the time, unless it is an unbroken
string (ie, no carrige returns).
Zmud is notorious for this, Gmud as well. Others - unknown.
On the other hand, telent (even the windows version) work fine.
