utp (1)

NAME
	utp - unix to apple

SYNOPSIS
	utp [-r] file(s)

DESCRIPTION
	utp is a text file end of line converter.  It converts between
	UNIX and Apple II, or vice versa.  Majority of code is based
	on Jason Simmons' lf2cr utility (Jason has released shell,
	NDA, and CDA version, nifty!).	The reason I renamed it is
	because utp is much easier to type than lf2cr.	:-)

	I believe utp/lf2cr is the faster converter there is for the
	Apple IIgs.  But there may be pitfalls, see BUGS below.

OPTIONS
	-r
		Reverse the effect, convert from Apple II to UNIX.
	
	file(s)
		The shell wild cards are fully supported.  You may specify
		as many file sets as it can fit on the command line.
	
SEE ALSO
	udl(1), sscii(1), conv(1)

BUGS
	utp isn't cautious or flexible as udl, that's why utp is much
	faster than others.  utp just go through the file searching for
	EOL characters, if it is found, it will be replaced.

	I haven't not had utp corrupt any files on me, but be careful
	when you use wildcards; so you won't process non-text files.
	In the future, utp will probably process only file types bin,
	txt, or src.

	Use this at your own risk.  Jason and I will not be responsible
	for any damages.

	Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

VERSION
	updated for utp 2.0 - 04/15/94
