NAME
asa - convert FORTRAN carriage-control output to printable
form
SYNOPSIS
asa [-f] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
The asa utility will write its input files to standard out-
put, mapping carriage-control characters from the text files
to line-printer control sequences.
The first character of every line will be removed from the
input, and the following actions will be performed.
If the character removed is:
SPACE The rest of the line will be output without change.
0 It is replaced by a newline control sequence fol-
lowed by the rest of the input line.
1 It is replaced by a newpage control sequence fol-
lowed by the rest of the input line.
+ It is replaced by a control sequence that causes
printing to return to the first column of the pre-
vious line, where the rest of the input line is
printed.
For any other character in the first column of an input
line, asa skips the character and prints the rest of the
line unchanged.
If asa is called without providing a filename, the standard
input is used.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-f Start each file on a new page.

OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
file A pathname of a text file used for input. If no
file operands are specified, or `-' is specified,
then the standard input will be used.
EXAMPLES
The command
a.out | asa | lp
converts output from a.out to conform with conventional
printers and directs it through a pipe to the printer.
The command
asa output
shows the contents of file output on a terminal as it would
appear on a printer.
The following program is used in the next two examples:
write(*,'(" Blank")')
write(*,'("0Zero ")')
write(*,'("+ Plus ")')
write(*,'("1One ")')
end
Both of the following examples produce two pages of output:
Page 1:
Blank
ZeroPlus
Page 2:
One
Example 1: Using actual files
a.out > MyOutputFile
asa < MyOutputFile | lp
Example 2: Using only pipes
