- PURPOSE:
-
- I was getting sick and tired of getting corrupted ASCII downloads,
- using Zmodem. White Knight has an odd way of downloading, no matter what
- protocol you're using (X, Y, or Zmodem). I couldn't find any comparable
- programs on the Macintosh that does UNIX newline -> Mac CR translations, so
- I wrote one for UNIX, with a separate program for the Macintosh that does
- just about the same thing. This will convert both from UNIX -> Mac and also
- Mac -> UNIX, so you can upload text from your machine as well.
-
- COMPILING:
-
- The source is written in THINK C 4.02, with help from Prototyper 3.0.
- It can be ported, I suppose, to something else, like MPW, but most of the
- routines that do menus, files, etc. will have to be virtually rewritten.
- Let me know if you manage to port it; I'd like to see a copy.
-
- BUGS:
-
- Macify/MAC currently has one critical bug. It *will not* convert from
- Mac -> UNIX. Therefore, I have disabled this feature. It *will*, however,
- work for UNIX -> Mac. Basically, when you try converting a Mac file to
- UNIX, it does nothing. The output file is exactly the same as the input file;
- not even the Mac EOL's translated to the UNIX EOL's. This is obviously
- unacceptable. If you have Macintosh programming knowhow, or even general
- programming knowhow, take a look at the source included (concentrate your
- search in the "Macify Code" folder; the other stuff is pretty much Mac-
- specific code, like toolbox routines, etc. If you find a fix, or know how to
- fix it, please e-mail me; my address is at the top of this document.
-
- Other bugs are described in the "BUGS" file included with the UNIX half of
- Macify.
-
- CONCLUSION:
-
- Well, that's about it. I'm working on a port of this to Macintosh,
- so you can convert files on the Mac end. This will probably be distributed
- with the next version.
-
- If you have any bug reports, suggestions, questions, etc. about this
- program, please contact me via one of the E-Mail addresses listed at the
- beginning of this document.
-
- Enjoy!
