Tired of trying to read MS-DOS or UNIX text files that are all just one
continuous line? The reason for that is that every other machine on the
planet uses a newline character at the end of a line where the Macintosh uses
a carrage return (don't get me wrong, I like Macs).
Basically all unUNIX does is read through a text file character by character
and if it finds a newline character it changes it into a carrage return before
writing it.
How to use it?
Two ways. Either use System 7's drag and drop feature or select a file under the 'Open...' menu (either a TEXT file or a ???? file) and poof, a file is created with a '.new' suffix that will be legible. Wow, what a concept!
Under 'Options' the creator type can be changed to the creator code of your
choice. unUNIX ships set to 'MSWD' which is for Microsoft word documents.
unUNIX is compatible with both System 6 AND 7.
