udl - Convert EOL formats freely between MS-DOS (CR/LF), Unix/Amiga (LF),
and Apple (CR).

=============================================================================
Udl converts text files between CR, LF and CR/LF (Apple, Unix and MS-DOS).
It is a very fast utility that ensures that the integrity of the file
cannot be compromised during the translation. It is also much easier
to use than tr(1).
================
Revision History:
================
v1.01
Tabs are left alone now. Also recognizes CR/LF (MeSsy-DOS).
v1.02
Does no longer read in the complete file, instead creates a temp
file in prefix 3/.
v1.03
Fixed a bug, allocated not enough mem for strncpy.
v1.1
Changed to use static GS/OS strings again. Made faster by factor
5.8.
v1.11
Cleaned the code up a bit, wrote a Makefile, all output by udl is
prefixed with the name it was invoked with.
v1.12
Sped up Apple <-> Unix conversion further (factor 1.5).
v1.12 (Unix)
(December 1993)
Modified source to produce a Unix version
v1.13
(Updated by Devin Reade, November 1994)
Added ability to recurse through directories (-R flag).
Changed behavior to ignore binary files rather than exiting.
Merged Unix and Apple IIgs versions.
=========
Compiling:
=========
There are two makefiles included:
Makefile.gs - for use on the Apple IIgs running Gno
Makefile.unix - for use with Unix systems.
Although udl on the IIgs can be run from either Gno or Orca shells,
it cannot be built with the standard Orca installation due to a lack
of additional libraries.
Before you type "make", have a look at the Makefile and edit the defines
to your liking.
Also, udl.c assumes that getopt() is declared in <unistd.h> and that
the function strdup() exists in <string.h>. You might want to change
these includes if that's not the case.
