        !             3: .SH NAME
        !             4: delam \- delaminate a file using column positions
        !             5: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !             6: \f3delam\fP fieldlist {infile | \-} {outputfile | \-}...
        !             7: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             8: \fIDelam\fR delaminates an input file into several output files
        !             9: according to the fields specified by \f3fieldlist\fR.
        !            10: \fIDelam\fR reads \f3infile\fR and writes the fields in each line to the
        !            11: corresponding output files as individual lines. If no data occurs in
        !            12: the specified position for a given input line an empty output line is
        !            13: written. This insures that all output files contain the same number of
        !            14: lines as the input file.
        !            15: .PP
        !            16: If `\-' is used for \f3infile\fR, the standard input is read.
        !            17: If `\-' is used as an output file name, the corresponding field
        !            18: is written to the standard output.
        !            19: .PP
        !            20: The fields are defined by \f3fieldlist\fR, which is a list of field
        !            21: specifications, separated by commas, colons, or semicolons, of the
        !            22: following form:
        !            23: .DS
        !            24: .ft I
        !            25: n              \fRthe character in column \fIn
        !            26: n\-m           \fRthe characters in columns \fIn\fR through \fIm
        !            27: n+m            m \fRcharacters beginning at column \fIn
        !            28: .ft R
        !            29: .DE
        !            30: where the columns in a line are numbered from 1 to the length of the
        !            31: line.
        !            32: .PP
        !            33: The use of \fIdelam\fR is illustrated by the following examples.
        !            34: .DS
        !            35: delam 1\-10,5 foo x y
        !            36: .DE
        !            37: reads file \fIfoo\fR and writes characters 1 through 10 to file \fIx\fR and
        !            38: character 5 to file \fIy\fR.
        !            39: .DS
        !            40: delam 10+5:1\-10:1\-10:80 \- middle left1 left2 end
        !            41: .DE
        !            42: reads the standard input and writes characters 10 through 14 to
        !            43: \fImiddle\fR, 1 through 10 to \fIleft1\fR and \fIleft2\fR, and character 80 to
        !            44: \fIend\fR.
        !            45: .DS
        !            46: delam 1\-80;1\-80 \- \- \-
        !            47: .DE
        !            48: copies the standard input to the standard output, replicating the
        !            49: first eighty columns of each line twice.
        !            50: .SH NOTES
        !            51: The functionality of the Software Tools \fIdelam\fR has
        !            52: been divided. The Icon version of \fIdelam\fR uses an extended fieldlist
        !            53: syntax.
