Known Bugs/Incompatibilities with TextMaster
(UNIX Version)
+ TextMaster will probably barf on non-text input/files (e.g. type special
files, binaries, etc.)
+ TextMaster currently does not support wildcard extension. A future
version will incorporate this, as well as allowing you to specify only the
source filename, in which case the destination filename will auto-
matically be named [sourcefile].conv.
+ If you give it a filename that does not exist, for input, TextMaster will
most likely either complain or barf.
(Macintosh Version)
+ TextMaster will barf if the input file is non-text (i.e. application,
binary, etc.)
+ TextMaster NOW CORRECTLY CONVERTS files from Mac -> UNIX. HOWEVER,
it saves the converted output file as filetype "????", creator "????".
Thus, most wordprocessors cannot open it directly. However, in many
cases, pressing and holding Option (or, in the case of Microsoft Word,
pressing and holding Shift) while selecting "Open" will let you open
these files. If anyone can fix this so it'll save as TEXT, please
drop me an E-Mail notice telling what the problem is, and how to
resolve it! Thanks!
+ TextMaster will overwrite the output file (file.out), if it exists
already.
+ TextMaster curently doesn't support background events, and other such
Mac-isms. This will perhaps be integrated in a future version.
+ The code for TextMaster is very messy.
+ TextMaster does almost NO error-checking. Thus, if you do something to it
that it doesn't expect, it'll most likely bomb.
+ TextMaster currently saves its output files as type "TEXT" but creator
"????". A future upgrade will allow you to specify the file type (MSWD,
MACA, ttxt, etc.)
