From "man col"

Code:
 Although col accepts half-line motions in its input, it normally does
      not emit them on output.  Instead, text that would appear between
      lines is moved to the next lower full-line boundary.  This treatment
      can be suppressed by the -f (fine) option; in this case, the output
      from col may contain forward half-line feeds (ESC-9), but will still
      never contain either kind of reverse line motion.
Cheers
ZB
