Kill_LF
Version 1.0
Written by Leo Butler
26-MAR-1991
INTRODUCTION
Kill_LF is a simple utility that will turn text files that have
linefeed-only (LF, ^J, ascii code 10H) carriage control into carriage-
return/linefeed (CR, ^M, ascii code 13H) control. This will allow the
file(s) to be viewed, edited and printed normally, as many editors
cannot handle linefeed-only carriage control.
The need for this program came about while working with Paradox 3.5
and its applications generator. The apps generator uses linefeeds
extensively, making it difficult to view, edit or print the source
code it creates. Kill_LF takes care of this nicely.
USAGE
The command-line syntax for Kill_LF is:
C> kill_lf infile outfile
where infile is the existing ascii file containing linefeed carriage
control, and outfile is the name of the file you wish to contain the
"fixed" ascii text. Infile must exist, and outfile must be a non-
existing file of a different name than infile. Kill_LF will not allow
you to overwrite the original file.
