Documentation for Feeder V1.0 (05.02.2000) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Copyright Feeder is copyright © 1999-2000 by Bernhard Lindner. This software package is Freeware. ***** Use it on your own risk ***** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Introduction Feeder is a little shell command for AmigaOS. It can be used to convert ASCII files (e.g. *.txt, *.asc) from other platforms to Amiga format. The problem with foreign ASCII files is that they use other end-of-line sequences. Four sequences are used: CR, LF, CR-LF, LF-CR (CR=carriage return, LF=line feed). AmigaOS commonly does only support the single LF as a end-of-line sequence. This is why you I wrote Feeder. Feeder converts ANY of the four end-of-line sequences to the single LF used by AmigaOS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Installation The installation is very easy: Simply copy the "feeder" file to your "C:" or "sys:c/" drawer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Usage Feeder is very easy to use. Open a Shell or CLI window and than type "feeder " while '' must be replaced by the name of the file you want to convert. IMPORTANT: Feeder doesn't leave the original file unchanged. It will be overwritten and replaced by the new formatted AmigaOS ASCII file! So if you want to keep the original file you have to make a copy before using feeder! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.
