42.Op Ar
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46utility reads files sequentially, mapping
47.Tn FORTRAN
48carriage-control characters to line-printer control sequences,
49and writes them to the standard output.
50.Pp
51The first character of each line is interpreted as a carriage-control
52character.
53The following characters are interpreted as follows:
54.Bl -tag -width ".Aq space"
55.It Aq space
56Output the rest of the line without change.
57.It 0
58Output a
59.Aq newline
60character before printing the rest of the line.
61.It 1
62Output a
63.Aq formfeed
64character before printing the rest of the line.
65.It \&+
66The trailing
67.Aq newline
68of the previous line is replaced by a
69.Aq carriage-return
70before printing the rest of the line.
71.El
72.Pp
73Lines beginning with characters other than the above are treated as if they
74begin with
75.Aq space .
76.Sh EXIT STATUS
77.Ex -std
78.Sh EXAMPLES
79To view a file containing the output of a
80.Tn FORTRAN
81program:
82.Pp
83.Dl "asa file"
84.Pp
85To format the output of a
86.Tn FORTRAN
87program and redirect it to a line-printer:
88.Pp
89.Dl "a.out | asa | lpr"
