- Known Bugs/Incompatibilities with TextMaster
-
- (UNIX Version)
-
- + TextMaster will probably barf on non-text input/files (e.g. type special
- files, binaries, etc.)
-
- + TextMaster currently does not support wildcard extension. A future
- version will incorporate this, as well as allowing you to specify only the
- source filename, in which case the destination filename will auto-
- matically be named [sourcefile].conv.
-
- + If you give it a filename that does not exist, for input, TextMaster will
- most likely either complain or barf.
-
- (Macintosh Version)
-
- + TextMaster will barf if the input file is non-text (i.e. application,
- binary, etc.)
-
- + TextMaster NOW CORRECTLY CONVERTS files from Mac -> UNIX. HOWEVER,
- it saves the converted output file as filetype "????", creator "????".
- Thus, most wordprocessors cannot open it directly. However, in many
- cases, pressing and holding Option (or, in the case of Microsoft Word,
- pressing and holding Shift) while selecting "Open" will let you open
- these files. If anyone can fix this so it'll save as TEXT, please
- drop me an E-Mail notice telling what the problem is, and how to
- resolve it! Thanks!
-
- + TextMaster will overwrite the output file (file.out), if it exists
- already.
-
- + TextMaster curently doesn't support background events, and other such
- Mac-isms. This will perhaps be integrated in a future version.
-
- + The code for TextMaster is very messy.
-
- + TextMaster does almost NO error-checking. Thus, if you do something to it
- that it doesn't expect, it'll most likely bomb.
-
- + TextMaster currently saves its output files as type "TEXT" but creator
- "????". A future upgrade will allow you to specify the file type (MSWD,
- MACA, ttxt, etc.)
