NAME
     fpr -- print Fortran file

SYNOPSIS
     fpr

DESCRIPTION
     Fpr is a filter that transforms files formatted according to Fortran's car-
     riage  control  conventions  into	files  formatted  according to Unix line
     printer conventions.

     Fpr copies its input onto its output, replacing the carriage control  char-
     acters  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 is treated as if its first character is a blank. A blank that
     appears as a carriage control character is deleted. A zero is changed to  a
     newline.	A  one is changed to a form feed. The effects of a "+" are simu-
     lated using backspaces.

EXAMPLES
	   a.out | fpr | lpr

	   fpr < f77.output | lpr

HISTORY
     The fpr command appeared in 4.2BSD.

BUGS
     Results are undefined for input lines longer than 170 characters.
