map ^M to carriage return |

I am moving some servers from a homegrown postscript filter to a2ps.
The homegrown program allowed the (^M or \15 or \r) to actually do a
carriage return with out doing a newline. It also allowed the (\b or ^H)
to do a backspace. There are enough programs that do something like this
so that they can program an underline with an underscore _. Why they just
didn't do the underline in the first place I do not know... :I
Regardless it could be a reasonable request from my customers to go to
the beginning of the current line and print that line with different
characters and oversetting the old ones. How can I map functionality like
that with a2ps?
--end-of-line=n will make the ^M show up now
-i will just print the other characters
(don't want that - we like the ^L to do a form feed)
There are even options to print out the octal, but where or where can I
say that ^M is a CR and not a CR+LF?
Unix = solaris8
a2ps version = 4.13
Please help...
thanks, JJ
