_A_s_a interprets the output of FORTRAN programs that utilize ASA carriage
control characters. It processes either the _f_i_l_e_s whose names are given
as arguments or the standard input if no file names are supplied. The
first character of each line is assumed to be a control character; their
meanings are:
'''' '''' (blank) single new line before printing
0000 double new line before printing
1111 new page before printing
++++ overprint previous line.
Lines beginning with other than the above characters are treated as if
they began with '''' ''''. The first character of a line is _n_o_t printed. If
any such lines appear, an appropriate diagnostic will appear on standard
error. This program forces the first line of each input file to start on
a new page.
If the environment variable _XPG is defined, _a_s_a operates in conformance
with the X/Open XPG4 specifications. The format of the output may differ
in accordance to the XPG4 standards.
EEEEXXXXAAAAMMMMPPPPLLLLEEEE
To correctly view the output of FORTRAN programs which use ASA carriage
control characters, _a_s_a could be used as a filter thusly:
a.out | asa | lpr
and the output, properly formatted and paginated, would be directed to
the line printer. FORTRAN output sent to a file could be viewed by:
