Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / October 2007CRLF utility that works on Mac OS X?
I've given up trying to transfer my Eudora for Mac 6.2 OUT mailbox to a Windows PC via FTP transfer, as the recipient names are all changed to my name (the sender), and in most emails transferred, the text is missing, only the address block gets thru. I don't get it and have been working on this for weeks. So, now I'm trying to transfer the files directly using a key memory device from Mac to PC directly, but before the transfer, according to Eudora, I must run the files thru a CRLF utility. The one you can link to from the Eudora help file only works on OS 9....and my Macbook doesn't support this, only OS X....and I can't seem to find a CRLF utility that works with OS X anywhere on the net... If anyone can tell me how to find such a utility or offer a different solution, I'd be eternally grateful!!

I have BBEdit Lite on my ancient TiBook and TextWrangler on my iG5, both runnning 10.3.9. I reckon for what I use them for, each is as good as the other- and both are excellent. And both do CR/LF conversions... SignaturePeter Here's one that's multi-platform (runs on all, converts between all): http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/~craig/utility/flip/ http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/~craig/utility/flip/flip.cpp (recommended by someone else, I just pass it along) Most FTP programs take care of it during "ascii" transfers. In a pinch, a one-line (per file) "sed" or "perl" command can do it (also a one-liner for doing it on the Windows side): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline -- > Here's one that's multi-platform (runs on all, converts between all): > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Most FTP programs take care of it during "ascii" transfers.

None of the suggested file conversion programs does, either, but as to FTP, when you connect your own cable between two computers in your own room, there is not much opportunity for interception, and when you connect to servers at a distance, you may be able to find some which support SSL (encrypted sessions), and clients with the same capability. By the way, add "Zip" programs to the list -- if you create a "tar" archive under MacOSX and extract it with WinZip under Windows, WinZip itself sports "Tar file smart CRLF conversion": "This option can be useful when a TAR file contains text files created on a Unix or Macintosh machine." "If the file is a text file then single LF and CR characters are converted to CR/LF pairs so the file can be viewed by Notepad and other Windows viewers." [quoting WinZip Help] -- > >> Most FTP programs take care of it during "ascii" transfers. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > to find some which support SSL (encrypted sessions), > and clients with the same capability. Nevertheless, I find converton with BBEdit Lite combined with transfer einter on a flash drive or though SMB to be by far the most convenient way, but your mileage - and preferences - may vary...
