Those users using un*x machines may want to take note... of you can't
exec executioner encoded files you may need to execute this sheel script..
it maps linefeeds to carriage returns which makes apples much happier...
(this process isn;t need if using kermit.. only xmodem type transfers..
just put this into an executable file in your directory...
say file lf2cr
cat $1 | tr '\012' '\015' > $2
then after downloading a file called say kermit..
just convert it with
lf2cr kermit kermitgood
then new file will be in kermitgood ready to download to your apple2
using xmodem...

Paul, what I do is use the text file manip. pgm that USED to be called TEX to strip linefeeds over on the Apple. But what I need - if someone out there is looking for a program to write - is something to run on my Apple which reads text files and 'unshars' them so to speak - that is, write out the mail header and intro comments into one file and from the CALL -151 thru the last non blank line into another file. I would also like to be able to give it multiple names with the result being that the output is concantenated/ appended. The problem is that I cannot find a nice text based editor which allows more than 35 k of text file - most of the files posted so far are more than that and so I cannot strip off the intro stuff. Anyone have any neat ideas - even something like csplit on unix ported to the Apple 2 would be nice! Also, when folks post items, PLEASE TELL US WHAT VERSION LEVEL and WHAT the final file name is for the posting in the Subject line. That way those folks who are getting both Apple2-l and comp.binaries.apple2, or even proline, compuserve, etc. can tell if they already have a particular version. Lastly, be sure to list operating system and hardware requirements in a posting - I have gotteen several IIgs files lately which gave no indication that they were for the iigs only. -- Larry W.
