pr: if I don't want the trailers then I must give up the headers

[Dan Jacobson]

How could it be that the pr command, with its rats nest of options,
doesn't offer a way to tell it "I love your headers, but don't want
any trailers"?  "No need to waste my paper roll with your trailers,
thanks."

`-t'
`--omit-header'
     Do not print the usual header [and footer] on each page, and do
     not fill out the bottom of pages (with blank lines or a form
     feed)...

See, if you don't want the bottoms, then you have to give up the tops
too.  How authoritarian.

Sigh.  I guess I have to use
$ pr -f 7-??.txt|perl -wple 's/\f/\n\n/;'
to get something that looks good and doesn't waste the paper roll.
