SYNTAX
asa [files]
DESCRIPTION
Asa interprets the output of FORTRAN programs that utilize ASA
carriage control characters. It processes either the files whose
names are given as arguments or the standard input if no file
names are supplied. The first character of each line is assumed
to be a control character; the meanings are:
' ' (blank) single new line before printing
0 double new line before printing
1 new page before printing
+ overprint previous line.
Lines beginning characters other than the ones above are treated
as if they began with ' '. The first character of the line is
not printed and an appropriate diagnostic will appear on standard
error. This program forces the first line of each input file to
start on a new page.
To view correctly the output of FORTRAN programs which use ASA
carriage control characters, asa could be used as a filter thus:
a.out | asa | lp
and the output, properly formatted and paginated, would be
directed to the line printer. FORTRAN output sent to a file
could be viewed by:
asa file
