>Description:
rs doesn't accept options in a standard matter.

% echo 1 2 3 4 | rs -w 120
rs: Width must be a positive integer
usage:  rs [ -[csCS][x][kKgGw][N]tTeEnyjhHm ] [ rows [ cols ] ]

% echo 1 2 3 4 | rs -w120
1  2  3  4

The reason is that it does not use getopt but invents its own
command line parser that wants option arguments to be padded
directly to the option character.

The same is true for all the other options that accept an argument.

>How-To-Repeat:
See above.

>Fix:
Rewrite the option parser using getopt if the standard gods allow it.
