ssp(1)                                                     ssp(1)



     NAME
          ssp - make output single spaced

     SYNOPSIS
          ssp [-] [name ...]

     DESCRIPTION
          ssp removes extra blank lines from its input, compressing
          two or more blank lines into one.  Note that if a line con-
          tains any characters at all (including spaces or tabs), then
          ssp does not considered it to be blank.  ssp can be used
          directly, or as a filter after nroff or other text format-
          ting operations.

          The - option removes all blank lines.

     EXAMPLES
          The command

             nroff -ms filea fileb | ssp > filec

          would nroff the files with the -ms macro package, then sin-
          gle space the output and put it into filec.
