NAME
rmnl - remove extra new-line characters from file
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
removes all blank lines from a file (except at beginning of file as explained below), and is useful for removing excess white space from files for display on a CRT terminal. Groups of two or more successive (new-line) characters are reduced to a single character, effectively eliminating all blank lines in the file that one or more blank lines at the beginning of a file remain as a single blank line. To remove redundant blank lines rather than all blank lines, use ssp(1). To remove all blank lines from a file including beginning of file, use piped to or piped to
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
