sed script to combine blank lines?

[Steve Roush]

#  strip 1st blank line down to nothing, then print newline
#  s/.*//p  should work, but not on my version
#  append next line, then strip thru newline, finally loop to see if non-blank
#############   NOTE, replace ^L with the real thing

sed  '/^[	 ^L]*$/{
s/.*//
p
:bogus
/^[	 ^L]*$/{
N
s/.*\n//
bbogus
}
}'
