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 output  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  delim-
     iters 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 spreadsheet.

     -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 example,
	    -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  spread-
	    sheet 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
