ASA(1)          DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)          ASA(1)



NAME
     asa - interpret ASA carriage control characters

USAGE
     asa [ files ]

DESCRIPTION
     Asa interprets the output of FORTRAN programs that use ASA
     carriage control characters.  It processes either the files
     whose names are given as arguments or the standard input if
     no filenames are supplied.  The first character of each line
     is assumed to be one of the following control characters:


     ' '       (Blank) Single newline before printing;

     0         Double newline before printing;

     1         New page before printing;

     +         Overprint previous line.


     If a line begins with anything other than the above charac-
     ters, asa automatically interprets it as beginning with a
     ' ', and produces an appropriate diagnostic on the standard
     error.  It never prints the first character of a line, and
     it always forces the first line of each input file to start
     on a new page.
