Six blank lines are inserted between pages for perforation skipping; each line is numbered; and lines longer than 124 characters are wrapped to the next line with “++” as the line number. There are 4 characters allowed for the line numbers and a 4 character space to the start of the printed text. <P> A file may be split into modules by using a C comment in this form: <PRE>/*mo* module*/</PRE> <P> N.B. there is only one space just before the module name. <P> Each module will start at the top of a new page. <P> A page break can be inserted using the C comment /*pa*/. <P> Both the module and page break markers must start in column 1 to be recognised. <P> <h2>EXAMPLE</h2> To print a file with maximum 8O characters per line: <PRE>ubpr – w8O filename</PRE>
