This program is by John Frickson.
Since the Amiga uses just the line feed character to terminate lines of
text, and some computers and networks use carriage-return line-feed
combinations, this program comes in handy if you are sending text files
via Xmodem to other computers.
For example, if you want to upload a text to an IBM-specific bulletin
board, using the Xmode protocol, the IBMers wouldn't be able to read it,
since the text would display incorrectly on their (dumbo) screens.
So, instead, you would enter
crlf myamigafile theiribmfile A
to add carriage returns, since the IBMers need them.
Or, if you downloaded a text from this IBM board, or downloaded and
unARCed a file containing IBM text files, you would enter
crlf theiribmfile myamigafile R
to remove the superfluous carriage returns.
The general syntax for command lines is:
crlf inputfile outputfile [A|R]
where 'A' is 'add CRs' and 'R' is 'remove CRs'.
(That's 'remove carriage returns', not 'remove College Republicans.')
