NAME
       fpr - print Fortran file

SYNOPSIS
       fpr

DESCRIPTION
       Fpr  is a filter that transforms files formatted according to Fortran’s
       carriage control conventions into files  formatted  according  to  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:

           +---------------+--------------------------------+
           |   Character   | Vertical Space Before Printing |
           |---------------+--------------------------------|
           |     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 simulated using backspaces.

EXAMPLES
       a.out | fpr | lpr

       fpr < f77.output | lpr

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