LINEFEED TOOLS - Simple programs to add/remove linefeed characters
from text files. Use these when transferring files
between PC and Apple II or between two systems where
linefeeds are wanted/unwanted.
CONTENTS -
LFADD.EXE MS-DOS Executable to add linefeeds to a text
file.
LFSTRIP.EXE MS-DOS Executable to strip linefeeds from a
text file.
LFADD.BAS Power Basic 2.10h source code for LFADD.exe.

LINEFEED.TXT This file.
HOW TO USE LFADD -
Use LFADD to convert Apple II text files with only carriage
returns to standard PC text files with both linefeeds and
carriage returns.
Run the program. It will prompt you for the MS-DOS path and
filename of a linefeed-bare text file. Remember that filenames
can only be 8.3 characters long (filename.ext) and longer names
(longername.txt) are formatted with a tilde and number
(longer~1.txt). (To use longer Windows filenames, use the
Windows version of these utilities.) After supplying the source
file, specify the path and filename of a NEW text file. The
source file will be copied, with linefeeds added, to the destin-
ation file. From there, one can view/edit the file correctly on
a PC.
HOW TO USE LFSTRIP -
Use LFSTRIP to convert standard PC text files with both linefeeds
and carriage returns to Apple II text files with only carriage
returns.
Run the program. It will prompt you for the MS-DOS path and
filename of a text file with linefeeds. Remember that filenames
can only be 8.3 characters long (filename.ext) and longer names
(longername.txt) are formatted with a tilde and number
(longer~1.txt). (To use longer Windows filenames, use the
Windows version of these utilities.) After supplying the source
file, specify the path and filename of a NEW text file. The
source file will be copied, with linefeeds left out, to the destin-
ation file. From there, one can view/edit the file correctly on
an Apple II or other systems using only carriage returns.
