Attached is a more adequate version of "flow", for converting plain
text paragraphs, in flush or plain style*, to single lines. Unlike the
previous version, version 2.0 does not fumble on the last line of the
document and fail to print material before quitting.

* A "plain" paragraph begins with its first line indented, whereas a
   "flush" paragraph is distinguished from its neighbors by blank
   newlines.
