======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.

======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]].
