Oh yes, there's also a new version of Tofrodos (ver 1.9.0) available.
What is Tofrodos?
Tofrodos is a text file conversion utility that converts ASCII and Unicode UTF-8 files between the MSDOS (or Windows) format, which traditionally have CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) pairs as their new line delimiters, and the Unix format, which usually have LFs (line feeds) to terminate each line.
It is a useful utility to have around when you have to convert files between MSDOS (or Windows) and Unix/Linux/BSD (and her clones and variants). It comes standard with a number of systems and is often found on the system as "todos", "fromdos", "dos2unix" and "unix2dos".
Downloading Tofrodos
Tofrodos comes in source code form. Precompiled binaries (executables) are only provided for the 64-bit Windows console (ie, run the "todos.exe" and "fromdos.exe" executables in a command prompt window). If you are using Linux, macOS, FreeBSD or any other system, you will need to compile the source code yourself. Makefiles for Linux/macOS/FreeBSD (same makefile) and a couple of compilers under Windows/MSDOS are provided.
The documentation for tofrodos is included in the download. Just open "tofrodos.html" in your browser to read the manual. Information on how to compile the program yourself can be found in the readme file (README.md in the source distribution and readme.html in the binary zip).
Go to the Tofrodos Releases page to download the software and source code.
