============================================================================= udl - Convert EOL formats freely between MS-DOS (CR/LF), Unix/Amiga (LF), and Apple (CR). (c) 1993-1994 Soenke Behrens Version 1.13: $Id: README,v 1.2 1995/02/08 05:05:36 gdr Exp $ ============================================================================= 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. No message is printed out when a binary file (or, in the IIgs implementation, a non-TXT or non-SRC file) is encountered unless the -v option is specified. ========= 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 and that the function strdup() exists in . You might want to change these includes if that's not the case. ========== Legalities: ========== This program contains material from the Orca/C Run-Time Libraries, copyright 1987-1994 by Byte Works, Inc.
