                     15:      _D_e_l_a_m delaminates an input file into several output files
                     16:      according to the fields specified by ffffiiiieeeellllddddlllliiiisssstttt.  _D_e_l_a_m reads
                     17:      iiiinnnnffffiiiilllleeee and writes the fields in each line to the correspond-
                     18:      ing output files as individual lines. If no data occurs in

                     21:      tain the same number of lines as the input file.

                     23:      If `-' is used for iiiinnnnffffiiiilllleeee, the standard input is read.  If
                     24:      `-' is used as an output file name, the corresponding field
                     25:      is written to the standard output.
                     26: 
                     27:      The fields are defined by ffffiiiieeeellllddddlllliiiisssstttt, which is a list of
                     28:      field specifications, separated by commas, colons, or semi-

                     33:           _n+_m       _m characters beginning at column _n
                     34:
