     NAME
          fpr -  filter  the  output  of  Fortran  programs  for  line
          printing

     SYNOPSIS
          fpr

     DESCRIPTION
          fpr is a filter that transforms files formatted according to
          Fortran's carriage control conventions into files formatted
          according to UNIX line printer conventions.

          fpr copies its input onto its output, replacing the carriage
          control characters with characters that will produce the in-
          tended effects when printed using lpr(1).  The first charac-
          ter of each line determines the vertical spacing as follows:

                  ____________________________________________

                  |Character | Vertical Space Before Printing |
                  ____________________________________________
                  |          |                                |
                     Blank     One line
                  |          |                                |
                       0       Two lines
                  |          |                                |
                       1       To first line of next page
                  |          |                                |
                       +       No advance
                  |__________|________________________________|


          A blank line is treated as if its first character is a

          blank.  A ``blank'' that appears as a carriage control char-

          acter is deleted.  A ``0'' is changed to a newline.  A ``1''

          is changed to a form feed.  The effects of a ``+'' are simu-

          lated using backspaces.
