- 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).
