41: .Sh DESCRIPTION
42: The
43: .Nm
44: utility reads files sequentially, mapping
45: .Tn FORTRAN
46: carriage-control characters to line-printer control sequences,
47: and writes them to the standard output.
48: .Pp
49: The first character of each line is interpreted as a carriage-control
50: character. The following characters are interpreted as follows:
51: .Bl -tag -width indent
52: .It <space>
53: Output the rest of the line without change.
54: .It 0
55: Output a <newline> character before printing the rest of the line.
56: .It 1
57: Output a <formfeed> character before printing the rest of the line.
58: .It +
59: The trailing <newline> of the previous line is replaced by a <carriage-return>
60: before printing the rest of the line.
61: .El
62: .Pp
63: Lines beginning with characters other than the above are treated as if they
64: begin with <space>.
65: .Sh EXAMPLES
66: To view a file containing the output of a
67: .Tn FORTRAN program:
68: .Dl asa file
69: .Pp
70: To format the output of a
71: .Tn FORTRAN
72: program and redirect it to a line-printer.

74: .Sh DIAGNOSTICS
75: The
76: .Nm
77: utility exit 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
