Short: Converts EOL to any character
EOLCon 1.3
This program will make the end-of-line character
anything the user wants (well, except for the '0', '1'
and '2' characters...they have a separate meaning...see
the doc file). When I say 'end-of-line', I actually
mean the character right BEFORE the linefeed char.
And in the case of a file that already has carriage
returns, adding your own character will place it
*before* the carriage return, where it should be
(in case you forget to add them in order).
*yawn*
Sounds like a run-of-the-mill EOL toggler, eh?
Not quite!
This converter has two very nice options : (1) you
can make the I/O buffer as big as you want, so amazing
speeds are possible (see the doc file), and, (2) you
can specify the *deleting* of carriage returns (as
you would expect), the *adding* of carriage returns
(also as you would expect), *AND* the *adding* of any
printable character you want to the end of every line.
The most common use of this program, obviously,
is for porting ASCII files back and forth between the
Amiga and MS-DOS machines...the latter uses a carriage
return before each linefeed to designate the end of
a line, while the Amiga does not (just a linefeed).
