        !            19:      _V_p_r causes the named files to be queued for printing or
        !            20:      typeset simulation on one of the available raster
        !            21:      printer/plotters. If no files are named, the standard input
        !            22:      is read.  By default the input is assumed to be line
        !            23:      printer-like text.  For very wide plotters, the input is run
        !            24:      through the filter /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_s_i_d_e_b_y_s_i_d_e giving it an argument
        !            25:      of -w106 which arranges it four pages adjacent with 90
        !            26:      column lines (the rest is for the left margin).  Since there
        !            27:      are 8 lines per inch in the default printer font, _v_p_r thus
        !            28:      produces 86 lines per page (the top and bottom lines are
        !            29:      left blank).
        !            30: 
        !            31:      The following options are available:
        !            32: 
        !            33:      -l             Print the input in a more literal manner.
        !            34:                    Page breaks are not inserted, and most con-
        !            35:                    trol characters (except format effectors: \n,
        !            36:                    \f, etc.) are printed (many control charac-
        !            37:                    ters print special graphics not in the ASCII
        !            38:                    character set.) Tab and underline processing
        !            39:                    is still done.  If this option is not given,
        !            40:                    control characters which are not format
        !            41:                    effectors are ignored, and page breaks are
        !            42:                    inserted after an appropriate number of lines

        !            95:      searched. The id of each file removed from the queue will
        !            96:      be printed.
