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.
	LFSTRIP.BAS	Power Basic 2.10h source code for LFSTRIP.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.
