Printing

At the Unix command level, the command

lpr filename

sends the file named filename to the printer. Other programmes, such as Pine, may have a print command on a menu.

Fortran carriage controls

Some programmes produce lines of output the first character of which is a fortran carriage control character (`1' form feed, `0' double space, ` ` single space, `+' no space). For example, SAS and Genstat files use fortran carriage controls. To convert and print these files use the command

fpr < filename | lpr

where filename is the name of the file to be printed.
