- I assume you are saving in Mac format on the NeXT. The following corrects
- just for line breaks and works for my TeXing purposes.
-
- Put
- alias mac2unix "tr '\015' '\012'"
- alias unix2mac "tr '\012' '\015'"
-
- in your .cshrc file. Then use the command
- mac2unix <macfilename> unixfilename
- and the obvious reverse direction. Then when in Writenow, open the file
- as text only, but save as text only with line breaks. I think that's it.
