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

72Lines beginning with characters other than the above are treated as if they
73begin with
74.Aq space .
