NAME
       psc - prepare sc files

SYNOPSIS
       psc [-fLkrSPv] [-s cell] [-R n] [-C n] [-n n] [-d c]

DESCRIPTION
       Psc  is	used  to  prepare data for input to the spreadsheet calculator
       sc(1).  It accepts normal ascii data on standard input.	Standard  out‐
       put  is a sc file.  With no options, psc starts the spreadsheet in cell
       A0.  Strings are right justified.  All data on a line is entered on the
       same  row;  new input lines cause the output row number to increment by
       one.  The default delimiters are tab and space.	The column formats are
       set  to	one  larger  than  the	number of columns required to hold the
       largest value in the column.

OPTIONS
       -f     Omit column width calculations.  This option  is	for  preparing
	      data  to	be merged with an existing spreadsheet.	 If the option
	      is not specified, the column widths calculated for the data read
	      by  psc  will override those already set in the existing spread‐
	      sheet.

       -L     Left justify strings.

       -k     Keep all delimiters.  This option	 causes	 the  output  cell  to
	      change  on  each	new delimiter encountered in the input stream.
	      The default action is to condense multiple delimiters to one, so
	      that the cell only changes once per input data item.

       -r     Output  the data by row first then column.  For input consisting
	      of a single column, this option will result in output of one row
	      with multiple columns instead of a single column spreadsheet.

       -s cell
	      Start the top left corner of the spreadsheet in cell.  For exam‐
	      ple, -s B33 will arrange the output data so that the spreadsheet
	      starts in column B, row 33.

       -R n   Increment by n on each new output row.

       -C n   Increment by n on each new output column.

       -n n   Output  n rows before advancing to the next column.  This option
	      is used when the input is arranged in a single  column  and  the
	      spreadsheet  is to have multiple columns, each of which is to be
	      length n.

       -d c   Use the single  character	 c  as	the  delimiter	between	 input
	      fields.

       -P     Plain  numbers  only.  A field is a number only when there is no
	      imbedded [-+eE].

       -S     All numbers are strings.

       -v     Print the version of psc
