/*      STRING     I   Input character string. */

/* $ Detailed_Input */

/* $ Detailed_Output */

/*      FRSTPC      is the index of the first printable character */

/*                  considered to be printable characters. Blanks */
/*                  are not considered printable characters. If */
/*                  the input string contains no printable characters, */
/*                  FRSTPC is zero. */

/*      None. */

/* $ Particulars */

/*      This works exactly like FRSTNB, except that it skips */

/*         INTEGER         FRSTPC */
/*         INTEGER         LASTNB */

/*         S( 5: 5) = 'B' */
/*         S( 6: 6) = 'C' */
/*         S( 7: 7) = CHAR (  7 ) */

/*         S( 9: 9) = CHAR (  9 ) */
