NAME
       asa - interpret carriage-control characters

SYNOPSIS
       asa [ options ] [file ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       asa  writes its input files to standard output mapping carriage control
       characters to line-printer control sequences.

       The first character of each line or record is removed  from  the	 input
       and is processed as follows before the rest of the line is output:
       0
	 A new-line is output.
       1
	 Advance to the next page.
       +
	 Overwrite the previous line.
       space
	 Just output the remainder of the line.

       Any  other  character as the first character is treated as if it were a
       space.

       If no file operands are given or if the file is -, asa reads from stan‐
       dard input. The start of the file is defined as the current offset.

OPTIONS
     -r reclen
	 If  reclen  is	 greater  than zero, the file is assumed to consist of
	 fixed length records of length reclen.

EXIT STATUS
       0
	 Success.
       >0
	 An error occurred.
