[New version] Tofrodos 2.1.0 - Convert text files between MSDOS/Windows and Unix formats

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 05:41:41 GMT

Tofrodos 2.1.0 is now available. This version fixes a few non-trivial bugs, so I recommend that you upgrade to it. If you use Windows, you can get a precompiled version from the Tofrodos releases page. Those who use Linux, macOS, FreeBSD (and other systems) should get the source code (also available from the releases page, or clone the repository) and compile it yourself. Alternatively, you can also just wait for your distro to update to this version.
