NAME

fpr − print FORTRAN file

USAGE

fpr

DESCRIPTION

Fpr is a filter that transforms files formatted according to FORTRAN carriage control conventions into files formatted according to UNIX line-printer conventions. 

Fpr copies its input onto its output, replacing the carriage control characters with characters that will produce the intended effects on a line printer. 

The first character of each line determines the vertical spacing as follows:

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 0 is changed to a newline.  A 1 is changed to a form feed. The effects of a plus sign (+) are simulated using backspaces. 

CAUTIONS

Results are undefined for input lines longer than 170 characters.
