## boust-0.161p5 – boustrophedon text reader

## Description

    Boustrophedon is a reading-/writing-style that alternates direction
    every line. It was originally created by the ancient Greeks. Once one
    gets good at reading the 'backwards' text, reading (and writing) can
    go much faster, as the eye (or hand) does not have to whip back to the
    margin when the end of a line is reached. One simply goes down a line
    and continues in the opposite direction.

    In the case of a paragraph ending, the next paragraph should retain
    the horizontal position, and (depending on which the text is closest
    to: the center of the screen or the margin) continues in the same
    direction, or continue in the opposite direction.

    This program formats the text-files to be read in this manner.
