40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43utility reads files sequentially, mapping
44.Tn FORTRAN
45carriage-control characters to line-printer control sequences,
46and writes them to the standard output.
47.Pp
48The first character of each line is interpreted as a carriage-control
49character.
50The following characters are interpreted as follows:
51.Bl -tag -width ".Aq space"
52.It Aq space
53Output the rest of the line without change.
54.It 0
55Output a
56.Aq newline
57character before printing the rest of the line.
58.It 1
59Output a
60.Aq formfeed
61character before printing the rest of the line.
62.It \&+
63The trailing
64.Aq newline
65of the previous line is replaced by a
66.Aq carriage-return
67before printing the rest of the line.
68.El
69.Pp
70Lines beginning with characters other than the above are treated as if they
71begin with
72.Aq space .

76To view a file containing the output of a
77.Tn FORTRAN
78program:
