NAME
       psc - prepare sc	files

SYNOPSIS
       psc [-fLkrSPv] [-s cell]	[-R n] [-C n] [-n n] [-d c]

DESCRIPTION
       Psc  is	used  to  prepare data for input to the	spreadsheet calculator
       sc(1).  It accepts normal ascii data on standard	input.	Standard  out-
       put  is a sc file.  With	no options, psc	starts the spreadsheet in cell
       A0.  Strings are	right justified.  All data on a	line is	entered	on the
       same row; new input lines cause the output row number to	 increment  by
       one.  The default delimiters are	tab and	space.	The column formats are
       set  to	one  larger  than  the	number of columns required to hold the
       largest value in	the column.

OPTIONS
       -f     Omit column width	calculations.  This option  is	for  preparing
	      data  to	be merged with an existing spreadsheet.	 If the	option
	      is not specified,	the column widths calculated for the data read
	      by psc will override those already set in	the  existing  spread-
	      sheet.

       -L     Left justify strings.

       -k     Keep  all	 delimiters.   This  option  causes the	output cell to
	      change on	each new delimiter encountered in  the	input  stream.
	      The default action is to condense	multiple delimiters to one, so
	      that the cell only changes once per input	data item.

       -r     Output  the data by row first then column.  For input consisting
	      of a single column, this option will result in output of one row
	      with multiple columns instead of a single	column spreadsheet.

       -s cell
	      Start the	top left corner	of the spreadsheet in cell.  For exam-
	      ple, -s B33 will arrange the output data so that the spreadsheet
	      starts in	column B, row 33.

       -R n   Increment	by n on	each new output	row.

       -C n   Increment	by n on	each new output	column.

       -n n   Output n rows before advancing to	the next column.  This	option
	      is  used	when  the input	is arranged in a single	column and the
	      spreadsheet is to	have multiple columns, each of which is	to  be
	      length n.

       -d c   Use  the	single	character  c  as  the  delimiter between input
	      fields.

       -P     Plain numbers only.  A field is a	number only when there	is  no
	      imbedded [-+eE].

       -S     All numbers are strings.

       -v     Print the	version	of psc
