MC(1)                                                       MC(1)

     NAME
          mc - multicolumn print

     SYNOPSIS
          mc [ - ] [ -N ] [ file ... ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Mc splits the input into as many columns as will fit in N
          print positions.  If run in a 9term(1), xterm(1), or acme(1)
          window, the default N is the number of blanks that will fit
          across the window; otherwise the default N is 80.  Under
          option - each input line ending in a colon `:' is printed
          separately.

     SEE ALSO
          9term(1), acme(1), acme(4), xterm(1), pr(1), lc in ls(1)

     BUGS
          On systems with high-DPI screens, 9term and acme do not have
          one current font.  They have a pair of current fonts, one
          font used when the window on a low-DPI screen and one used
          when the window is on a high-DPI screen.  Mc always uses the
          low-DPI font for columnation decisions.
