PURPOSE

Prints a FORTRAN file.

SYNTAX


fpr ----|


DESCRIPTION

The fpr command 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 print.  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 zero (0) is changed to a
newline.  A one (1) is changed to a form feed.  The effects of a "+" are
simulated using backspaces.

EXAMPLES

  a.out | fpr | print
  fpr < f77.output | print

NOTE

Results are undefined for input lines longer than 170 characters.
