HeidiTools is a collection of file format conversion utilities for Mac users who exchange data with users of MS-D*S and Un*x-based computers.

There are many good freeware utilities that handle such conversions, but finding them and learning how to make them 
work is seldom obvious.

HeidiTools provides a convenient front-end for these tools, with on-line help to explain the basics. Most of the utilities invoked by HeidiTools are freeware; all are available from on-line services and users groups. 

In addition to the sub-launching utilities, the stack includes a 
D*S <-> Un*x <-> Mac line endings translator, a utility that sets 
the creator code for text files, and Stuff and UnStuff buttons 
which make use of the StuffIt XCMDs and the StuffIt Enginex
(part of the StuffIt Deluxex package).  These utilities work in 
single file or batch mode.
