# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
# leave one space after the ':'.

unixdos-tools: Unix-DOS tools
unixdos-tools:
unixdos-tools: It is an unfortunate fact of life in the computing industry that the
unixdos-tools: most common computing platforms store text files in subtly different
unixdos-tools: ways. Unix systems use a simple linefeed (ASCII 10), Macintosh Systems
unixdos-tools: use a carriage return (ASCII 13) and Windows/DOS systems use a
unixdos-tools: carriage return AND a linefeed (13, 10).
unixdos-tools: Mostly this difference causes no problems, but occasionally these
unixdos-tools: it can be enough of a problem to make life difficult.
unixdos-tools: This package contains unix2dos and dos2unix, two programs that help
unixdos-tools: converting files between these different representations.
