play makes jack a dull boy.

Putting each 80 character section on a separate line with the column
numbers over it.

Do you want all text filled/formatted/compressed to 80 characters or do
you want each line regardless of line length?

The files in question are flat files from database dumps (from different
sources) so theoretically all the lines from the input file should be the
same length.
