asa2pdf(1)

convert text files using ASA carriage control to an Adobe PDF file

The asa2pdf(1)program takes a file with (or without) ASA carriage control and converts it to an Adobe PDF file.

The program provides extensive user documentation via the –help switch, including a basic definition of ASA vertical carriage control for those unfamiliar with it.

Tested with GNU Fortran (GCC) 5.4.0 ; 20170313

Support of ASA carriage control by Operating Systems and printers was once nearly ubiquitious, but is now rarely supported. As a result newer codes rarely produce ASA files; so this program is primarily of interest to people supporting codes that already contain ASA carriage control.

Various versions of asa2pdf(1) have been used for a long time to provide output support for a number of Fortran and COBOL programs that made extensive use of ASA carriage control to support overstrikes. Overstrikes were used to provide characters with accents, underlining, special characters such as “not equal” (“=”+“backspace”+“/”)…. . As an extension to ASA box characters and extended ANSI characters were also used and supported.

The programs the asa2pdf(1) filter was developed for have now been converted to generate HTML output and use Unicode characters, but if anyone else still needs to support ASA characters or wants to correctly display old ASCII Art files that used ASA carriage control, or are looking for an example program that converts flat text files to Adobe PDF files (which are hard to come by) this program is being made freely available, as asa2pdf(1) will (probably) no longer be supported as a public Open Source application by the original author.

To make the asa2pdf(1) source self-contained several string utilties and a large command-line parsing module are included, which makes the source rather larger than expected.

!! NAME
!!      s2v - [M_utilities]function returns doubleprecision numeric value from a string
!! 
!! SYNOPSIS
!!    function s2v(string,[ierr])
!! 
!!     character(len=*)             :: string
!!     doubleprecision              :: s2v
!!     integer,intent(out),optional :: ierr
!! 
!! DESCRIPTION
!!       This function converts a string to a DOUBLEPRECISION numeric value.
!!       A value of zero (0) is returned on error.
!! 
!!       If an error occurs the program is stopped if the optional parameter
!!       IERR is not present. If IERR is non-zero an error occurred.
!! 
!! EXAMPLE
!! 
!!    program demo_s2v

!! NAME
!!      value_to_string - [M_strings]return numeric string from a numeric value
!! 
!! SYNOPSIS
!! 
!!    subroutine value_to_string(value,chars[,ilen,ierr,fmt])
!! 
!!     character(len=*) :: chars  ! minimum of 23 characters required
!!     !--------
!!     ! VALUE may be any <em>one</em> of the following types:
!!     doubleprecision,intent(in)               :: value
!!     real,intent(in)                          :: value
!!     integer,intent(in)                       :: value

!!     integer,optional                         :: ierr
!!     character(len=*),intent(in),optional     :: fmt
!! 
!! DESCRIPTION
!! 
!!    value_to_string(3f)
!!    that returns a numeric representation in a string given a numeric value of type
!!    REAL, DOUBLEPRECISION, or INTEGER. It creates the strings using internal writes.
!!    It then removes trailing zeros from non-zero values, and left-justifies the string.
!! 
!! OPTIONS
!!       o  VALUE - input value to be converted to a string
!! RETURNS
!!       o  CHARS - returned string representing input value, must be at least 23 characters long;
!!                  or what is required by optional FMT if longer.
!!       o  ILEN - position of last non-blank character in returned string; optional.
!!       o  IERR - If not zero, error occurred.; optional.
!!       o  FMT - You may specify a specific format that produces a string up to the length of CHARS; optional.

!!    asa2pdf(1f) - Convert text files with/without ASA carriage control

!!DESCRIPTION
!!
!!   Basically, asa2pdf(1) emulates a line printer that recognizes ASA
!!   carriage control. That is, it lets you convert ASCII text files using
!!   ASA carriage control into Adobe "clear text" PDF files instead of a
!!   printed page.
!!
!!   The PDF is clear-text ASCII so that it is easy to still use other
!!   Unix/Linux utilities such as spell(1), diff(1), grep(1), .... on the
!!   output files.
!!
!!   To properly view the output requires a PDF processor (such
!!   as xpdf(1),acroread(1)/AcroRd32, gv(1) or ghostview(1), ...).
!!   Most modern systems can view, mail and print PDF files.
!!
!!   The default layout generates a landscape 132-column 60-line format with
!!   every other two lines shaded. A variety of switches are available to
!!   let you easily print files with no vertical carriage control, and in
!!   portrait mode too. There are options to use dashed lines instead of
!!   shading, to set different margins, and so on.
!!
!!   WHAT IS ASA CARRIAGE CONTROL?
!!
!!   The ASA carriage control standard was the first important formatting
!!   standard for printing and viewing text files. The standard was almost
!!   universally adapted by printer manufacturers of the time (and printers
!!   were a much more common output device than interactive displays).
!!
!!   Most commercial high-level programs at the time the standard was
!!   created were either FORTRAN or COBOL; so nearly all early FORTRAN
!!   output used ASA carriage control
!!   (ASA was the American Standards Association -- now ANSI).
!!   This FORTRAN/ASA association became so strong that the standard is
!!   sometimes referred to as the "Fortran carriage control standard" (FCC).
!!   Indeed, even though ASA is no longer commonly directly supported on
!!   desktop printers, it was part of the Fortran 90 standard (this was
!!   dropped in Fortran 2003 -- how a printer processes files is really
!!   not directly part of any programming language).
!!
!!   Times have changed, and the once nearly ubiquitous ASA standard
!!   is poorly supported on Unix and MSWindows machines in particular
!!   (Direct operating-system support of ASA files was once common, but
!!   is now rare).
!!
!!   But no alternative as simple has emerged for output files
!!   that truly replaces the ASA standard (although machine control
!!   characters (ctrl-H, ctrl-L, ...) have come close they have their
!!   own issues).
!!
!!   So many programs using ASA-based formatting have not been changed,
!!   and use commands like asa(1)/nasa(1), and fpr(1) to allow the files to
!!   be printed as desired but NOT to generally be viewed properly on-line,
!!   and printing itself is becoming less common.
!!
!!   So the problem isn't so much with ASA files, but that today's
!!   infrastructure does not support the format well. The asa2pdf(1)
!!   program bridges the gap by allowing you to still make and manipulate
!!   ASA files until you want to print or email them, at which time you
!!   can quickly convert them to an Adobe PDF file.
!!
!!USAGE
!!
!!   asa2pdf(1) reads input from standard input. By default the first
!!   character of each line is interpreted as a control character. Lines
!!   beginning with any character other than those listed in the ASA
!!   carriage-control characters table or in the list of extensions below
!!   are interpreted as if they began with a blank, and an appropriate
!!   diagnostic appears on standard error. The first character of each
!!   line is not printed.

!!   ALTERNATIVES TO ASA2PDF
!!
!!   About the only standard ASA support on Unix variants is that some
!!   contain the asa(1)/fpr(1) and nasa(1) commands for converting ASA text
!!   files into and from text files with machine control (MC) characters
!!   such as form-feed, backspace, carriage-return, .... Most personal
!!   printers will no longer properly print ASA files directly, but they
!!   will often correctly print files with simple MC characters
!!   (Note that the asa(1) command is referenced in the POSIX.2 standard).
!!
!!   Furthermore, if a printer does not directly support MC characters,
!!   text conversion utilities such as enscript(1) and a2ps(1) can
!!   often be used to print the files (usually by converting the files
!!   to PostScript or PCL). Such utilities support features such as
!!   titling, page numbering, and other useful options.
!!
!!   Programs like "Adobe Distiller" can convert text to a PDF; as well as
!!   editors such as OpenOffice. In fact, most modern document-formatting
!!   editors can read in an ASCII text file and save it as an Adobe
!!   PDF file.
!!
!!   HTML and PostScript/PDF and PCL files are the alternatives often
!!   incorporated to satisfy simple formatting criteria --
!!   yet HTML is not printer-oriented;
!!   and PDF files are complex to write from a simple program, and PCL is
!!   vendor-specific and has few on-line viewers available for it.
!!
!!
!!   Assuming converting the Fortran program to just write a plain ASCII
!!   file instead of an ASA file is not acceptable, More extensive flat-text
!!   formatting is available using
!!
!!   o HTML, *roff and LaTex-related file formats
!!   o libraries for writing more sophisticated PostScript, PDF, and HTML/CSS files
!!   o XML files formatted using Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) files
!!   o RTF (Rich Text Format) files
!!
!!   Other Unix commands that can be useful in working with plain text and
!!   MC character files are
!!
!!      pr(1)           can be used to add page numbers and titles.
!!      expand(1)       can remove tab characters
!!      fold(1),fmt(1)  can be used to wrap the text
!!      cut(1)          can let you trim or select columns
!!      cat -n          can be used to add number lines
!!      paste(1)        can be used to put files side-by-side.

!!asa(1)/nasa(1), fpr(1), enscript(1), a2ps(1), and ps2pdf(1).

!>##REFERENCE
!!    8.4.3.6       Line Dash Pattern
!!
!!    The line dash pattern shall control the pattern of dashes and gaps used to stroke paths. It shall be specified by
!!    a dash array and a dash phase. The dash array's elements shall be numbers that specify the lengths of
!!    alternating dashes and gaps; the numbers shall be nonnegative and not all zero. The dash phase shall specify
!!    the distance into the dash pattern at which to start the dash. The elements of both the dash array and the dash
!!    phase shall be expressed in user space units.
!!
!!    Before beginning to stroke a path, the dash array shall be cycled through, adding up the lengths of dashes and
!!    gaps. When the accumulated length equals the value specified by the dash phase, stroking of the path shall
!!    begin, and the dash array shall be used cyclically from that point onward. Table 56 shows examples of line
!!    dash patterns. As can be seen from the table, an empty dash array and zero phase can be used to restore the
!!    dash pattern to a solid line.
!!
!!                       Table 56 ­ Examples of Line Dash Patterns
!!
!!      Dash Array       Appearance                   Description
!!      and Phase
!!
!!      [] 0                                          No dash; solid, unbroken lines
!!
!!      [3] 0                                         3 units on, 3 units off, ...
!!
!!      [2] 1                                         1 on, 2 off, 2 on, 2 off, ...
!!
!!      [2 1] 0                                       2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off, ...
!!
!!      [3 5] 6                                       2 off, 3 on, 5 off, 3 on, 5 off, ...
!!
!!      [ 2 3 ] 11                                    1 on, 3 off, 2 on, 3 off, 2 on, ...
!!
!!    Dashed lines shall wrap around curves and corners just as solid stroked lines do. The ends of each dash shall
!!    be treated with the current line cap style, and corners within dashes shall be treated with the current line join
!!    style. A stroking operation shall take no measures to coordinate the dash pattern with features of the path; it
!!    simply shall dispense dashes and gaps along the path in the pattern defined by the dash array.
!!
!!    When a path consisting of several subpaths is stroked, each subpath shall be treated independently--that is,
!!    the dash pattern shall be restarted and the dash phase shall be reapplied to it at the beginning of each subpath.
