FPR(1)FPR(1)NAMEfpr - convert FORTRAN carriage-control output to printable form
SYNOPSISfpr [ file... ]
DESCRIPTION
In UNIX System V, the asa utility is the standard, not fpr. fpr reads
one file and writes another file. It transforms a file formatted by
FORTRAN carriage-control conventions into a file formatted by UNIX
line-printer conventions. fpr copies its input onto its output,
replacing the carriage control characters with characters that will
produce the intended effects when printed using lpr(1). 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 (that is, an empty line) is treated as if its first char‐
acter is a blank.
A blank line that appears as a carriage control character only is
deleted.
A zero is changed to a newline.
A one is changed to a form feed.
A plus is simulated using backspaces.
EXAMPLES
write(*,'(" Blank")')
write(*,'("0Zero ")')
write(*,'("+ Plus ")')
write(*,'("1One ")')
end
Example 1. With actual files:
a.out > MyOutputFile
fpr < MyOutputFile | lpr
Example 2. With only pipes:
a.out | fpr | lpr
Both of the above examples produce two pages of output.
