ibm2a and a2ibm are very closely related programs for converting IBM-PC ASCII text files into Atari ATASCII text files or vice-versa. Both handle TABS and EOLs. Both require input and output filenames as arguments. Their claim to fame is not that they do TABs and EOLs, but that they also handle box graphics characters, and even the heart, spade, diamond and club graphics, so that text-with-graphics files can be converted from IBM-PC to Atari 8-bit format and back. Both can be compiled with DJ Delorie's port of GCC, djgpp, or Mix Software's Power C compiler, under MSDOS. Other compilers should be usable, but have not been tried. The executables in this distribution were made with Power C, for compatability on non-386 PCs; djgpp runs only on 386 or better. Written March, 1993 by Bob Hardy. Bugs should be reported to hardy@aim.com, or to: Bob Hardy 1822 Amelia Way, #7 Santa Clara, CA 95050 The executable files are released into the public domain. The source code is yours to compile as-is, but any changes should be reported, so that they can be assimilated into the master sources for any future revisions that may be released. In no case are you required to pay any money; in no case will donations be refused!
