      shift: copy one file to another file, with a blank in front of each line

synopsis
      shift(fin: in, fout: out, output: out)

files
      fin: the file to be copied with shifting
      fout: the shift of fin
      output: messages to the user

description
      shift makes a copy of the file fin on the file fout, with an extra
      blank line as the first character of each line.  this is useful on
      computer systems with a line printer that uses the first character
      for carriage control.  one can then shift files, such as programs,
      before printing them.
