+This \*(CT is intended for massively parallel SMP environments where,

+doubled thus reducing the total number of \*(Pu lines displayed.

+For example, with the first press of `!' one adjacent \*(Pu will be
+combined and displayed as `0-1, 2-3, ...' instead of the normal

+With a second `!' \*(CT two adjacent \*(Pus are combined and shown
