PURPOSE:
I was getting sick and tired of getting corrupted ASCII downloads,
using Zmodem. White Knight has an odd way of downloading, no matter what
protocol you're using (X, Y, or Zmodem). I couldn't find any comparable
programs on the Macintosh that does UNIX newline -> Mac CR translations, so
I wrote one for UNIX, with a separate program for the Macintosh that does
just about the same thing. This will convert both from UNIX -> Mac and also
Mac -> UNIX, so you can upload text from your machine as well.
COMPILING:
The source is written in THINK C 4.02, with help from Prototyper 3.0.
It can be ported, I suppose, to something else, like MPW, but most of the
routines that do menus, files, etc. will have to be virtually rewritten.
Let me know if you manage to port it; I'd like to see a copy.
BUGS:
Macify/MAC currently has one critical bug. It *will not* convert from
Mac -> UNIX. Therefore, I have disabled this feature. It *will*, however,
work for UNIX -> Mac. Basically, when you try converting a Mac file to
UNIX, it does nothing. The output file is exactly the same as the input file;
not even the Mac EOL's translated to the UNIX EOL's. This is obviously
unacceptable. If you have Macintosh programming knowhow, or even general
programming knowhow, take a look at the source included (concentrate your
search in the "Macify Code" folder; the other stuff is pretty much Mac-
specific code, like toolbox routines, etc. If you find a fix, or know how to
fix it, please e-mail me; my address is at the top of this document.
Other bugs are described in the "BUGS" file included with the UNIX half of
Macify.
CONCLUSION:
Well, that's about it. I'm working on a port of this to Macintosh,
so you can convert files on the Mac end. This will probably be distributed
with the next version.
If you have any bug reports, suggestions, questions, etc. about this
program, please contact me via one of the E-Mail addresses listed at the
beginning of this document.
Enjoy!
