- What is ASCIIConvert?
- it is simple CLI only utility to convery various CR and LF combinations to
- others combination. Most usefull for converting PC ascii files to
- Amiga ascii files. Also you can use it if you download text file as binary
- via ftp. It was first written for VAX/VMS but since it is in ansi C it
- compiled on amiga without any trouble.
-
- Why should I use this instead of CrossDos Commodity provided with my workbench?
- You shouldn't. If the only conversion you do is while copying from ms-dos
- disks then this is unusefull to you. But it happened to me that many times
- I brought home PC disks and got ascii and binary files on them and didnt
- know which is which. So I had to check first which files are in text format
- and then copy them to my HD.
-
- How does author use this?
- I use it in DirWork as a button! if i pass by a text file which I would like
- to convert, I only select it and press that button. Simple and efficient.
