- * whereami.c: wrapper program to westley.c that checks first the
- * columns of the terminal, exiting if < 80 and otherwise try compiling
- * westley.c (with make) and then if is already compiled or ends up being
- * compiled it will be run with the specified args to this program.
- *
- * It is an error to not specify two args but it is not an error to specify args
- * that are not numbers. The atoi(3) function typically returns 0 in that case
- * which westley.c uses.
- *
- * The reason to use this wrapper is because westley.c needs at least 80 columns
- * to show the output right. Previously it required 80 column wrapping but in
- * 2023 this limitation was removed, allowing it to work as long as there are at
- * least 80 columns.
