DESCRIPTION

The prf1 command is a post-processing filter to convert the intermediate output
of nroff and colpro to the IBM 4201 Proprinter control sequences and
characters.  In particular, the filter does the following:

  1. Converts strings of the form <bs><char>_<bs><char> to <start underlining>
    <char><char><stop underlining>.

  2. Converts sequences of the form <Esc>Ax to IBM 4201 Proprinter nonprinting
    control commands.

  3. Converts sequences of the form <Esc>[B,C]?  to a set of sequences to
    download special characters.  If the -g option is specified, these
    characters are printed in graphics mode.

  4. Convert sequences of the form <Esc>DX to x+130 (nroff cannot send codes
    over 127).

  5. Convert sequences of the form <ESC>EX to print the code x using the
    all-characters font.

  6. Convert sequences of the form <Esc>Fx to print the code x+130 using the
    all-characters font.

  7. Convert <Esc>9 to <1/2 space linefeed>.

The prf1 command is provided primarily for use by proff.

FLAG

-g   Option uses only those escape sequences understood by IBM 5152 Graphics
     Printer.
