** Known Bugs/Incompatibilities with MACIFY **
** **
*************************************************************************
(UNIX Version)
+ MACIFY will probably barf on non-text input/files (e.g. type special
files, binaries, etc.)
+ MACIFY 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, MACIFY will
most likely either complain or barf.
+ All error msgs and other such output are printed to stdout instead of
stderr. If you're redirecting output to a file, and you hit an error,
any messages printed will be dumped to the output file. This will be
fixed in a later version.
(Macintosh Version)
+ MACIFY will barf if the input file is non-text (i.e. application,
binary, etc.)
+ MACIFY on the Mac WILL NOT work for converting Mac -> UNIX files.
Therefore, I have disabled this menu item. Converting UNIX -> Mac,
however, works fine. Please see the "README" file in the Mac dis-
tribution for information about this bug. If you can fix it, please
drop me an E-Mail notice telling what the problem is, and how to
resolve it! Thanks!
+ MACIFY will overwrite the output file (file.out), if it exists
already.
+ MACIFY curently doesn't support background events, and other such
Mac-isms. This will perhaps be integrated in a future version.
+ The code for MACIFY is very messy.
+ MACIFY does almost NO error-checking. Thus, if you do something to it
that it doesn't expect, it'll most likely bomb.
