NAME
asa -- interpret carriage-control characters.
SYNOPSIS
asa [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The asa utility reads files sequentially, mapping FORTRAN carriage-control characters to line-printer
control sequences, and writes them to the standard output.
The first character of each line is interpreted as a carriage-control character. The following charac-ters characters
ters are interpreted as follows:
<space> Output the rest of the line without change.
Output a <newline> character before printing the rest of the line.
1 Output a <formfeed> character before printing the rest of the line.
+ The trailing <newline> of the previous line is replaced by a <carriage-return> before printing
the rest of the line.
Lines beginning with characters other than the above are treated as if they begin with <space>.
EXAMPLES
To view a file containing the output of a FORTRAN program:
asa file
To format the output of a FORTRAN program and redirect it to a line-printer.
a.out | asa | lpr
