NAME
asa - interpret ASA control characters
SYNOPSIS
asa [ file ] ...
DESCRIPTION
Asa takes files which were written with ASA carriage control charac‐
ters, usually by FORTRAN programs, converts them to a form suitable for
printing on a terminal, line printer, and so on, and writes the results
on the standard output.
The control characters handled are:
' ' single space
'0' double space
'-' triple space
'+' overprint the previous line
'1' start a new page
If no file names are given, the standard input is used.
Each input file given starts a new page. A skip to a new page on the
first line of the first input file is ignored.
