Short: Convert ASCII from/to Amiga, DOS & MAC Author: ghibo@galileo.polito.it, AmigaOS 4.0 compile by Spot / Up Rough Uploader: spot triad se (Spot / Up Rough) Type: text/misc Version: 1.01 Requires: AmigaOS 4.0, AmigaOS 3.x or MSDos and a textfile. Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.0 ------------- MultiCV v1.01 ------------- Introduction ------------ MultiCV is a simple program to convert ASCII files from/to the systems Amiga, Macintosh and MS/DOS. Note that also accented characters will be converted (if possible). Sources are also included, so that MultiCV could be compiled on any system.

Usage ----- To convert an ASCII file from one system to another you must use MultiCV as follows: multicv -xxx2yyy srcfile destfile where xxx = source system, i.e. one of ami, dos or mac yyy = destination system, i.e. one of ami, dos, mac srcfile = source file name. destfile = deestination file name Note that cannot be xxx = yyy (obvious). For instance to convert the ASCII file myfile.txt from Amiga to MS/DOS you can use multicv -ami2dos myfile.txt dosfile.txt where dosfile.txt is the name of the destination (dos) file. If no source nor destination file name are provided the input is read from stdin and the output is sent to stdout, so that we can pipe the output (and/or the input), as in the following example: multicv -ami2dos . History ------- version 1.01: - Fixed a bug which caused to allocat too much memory for mac2dos and ami2dos conversions. - Changed %d to %u for some printf(). version 1.0 - First public release.
