fpr(1)                                                     fpr(1)



NAME
     fpr - filters  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.

     The fpr command copies its input onto its output, replacing
     the carriage control characters with characters that will
     produce the intended effects when printed using lpr(1).  The
     first character 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

     character is deleted.  A ``0'' is changed to a newline.  A

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

     simulated using backspaces.


EXAMPLES

     The following lines show two ways to use this command:


        a.out | fpr | lpr


        fpr < f77.output | lpr



LIMITATIONS

     Results are undefined for input lines longer than 170

     characters.
