HeidiTools is a collection of file format conversion utilities for Mac users who exchange data with users of MS-D*S and Un*x-based computers.
There are many good freeware utilities that handle such conversions, but finding them and learning how to make them
work is seldom obvious.
HeidiTools provides a convenient front-end for these tools, with on-line help to explain the basics. Most of the utilities invoked by HeidiTools are freeware; all are available from on-line services and users groups.
In addition to the sub-launching utilities, the stack includes a
D*S <-> Un*x <-> Mac line endings translator, a utility that sets
the creator code for text files, and Stuff and UnStuff buttons
which make use of the StuffIt XCMDs and the StuffIt Engine™
(part of the StuffIt Deluxe™ package). These utilities work in
your own use, but please don't redistribute modified stacks with the HeidiTools icons and Biscuit City Software copyright notice.
If your copy of HeidiTools did not come with the full set of utilities, send a formatted 800K floppy and a stamped, self-addressed mailer to:
Biscuit City Software, 38 Chambers St., Newark, DE 19711.
