      NAME
	   fpr - print Fortran file

      SYNTAX
	   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.
