The executables in this directory are tools to aid cross-platform programming.
Following is an explanation of these tools and some examples.
All programs are (c) Loki 1994, and can be freely distributed if unmodified.
Program: Text2Dos
Purpose: Convert text files into DOS format. Works on Mac, Unix or DOS files.
Usage: text2dos [-?] filename1 [filename2 [...]]
Example: text2dos *.c *.h
Notes: Text2Dos is safe to run on text files which are already in DOS format.
Program: Text2Mac
Purpose: Convert text files to Mac format. Works on Mac, Unix or DOS files.
Usage: text2mac [-?] filename1 [filename2 [...]]
Example: text2mac *.*
Notes: All of the Text2... programs refuse to convert binary files.
Program: Text2Unx
Purpose: Convert text files to Unix format. Works on Mac, Unix or DOS files.
Usage: text2unx [-?] filename1 [filename2 [...]]
Example: text2unx *.bak *.txt
Notes: Unix text files end each line with a newline char (hex 0A).
Program: Detab
Purpose: Convert tabs into sequences of spaces so that indentation looks ok.
Usage: detab [-?] [tabsize] filename1 [filename2 [...]]
Example: detab 8 *.c *.h
Notes: Tabstops are taken to be placed every 4 characters by default.
The example shows how to change this to every 8 characters.
Program: LS
Purpose: List the files within a directory, sorted alphabetically or by size.
Usage: ls [-?] [-lcwodfaxnestru] [pathname]
Example: ls -? provides a comprehensive list of the options for this program.
Notes: LS is similar to the UNIX program of the same name.
If you are using a network which has its own LS command, do not use
this program because it is purely a DOS program.
