NAME
mactext - convert Unix text to Macintosh type text files

SYNOPSIS
mactext filename [filename ... ]

DESCRIPTION
Mactext converts standard Unix text files with a Unix end of line
(newline) to Macintosh text files with a Macintosh end of line
(carriage return). It also sets the Macintosh creator to ’????’
and the Macintosh file type to ’TEXT’. The resulting file is
suitable for input to various Macintosh word processors such as
Microsoft Word or WriteNow.

The program is a shell script running the tr program to translate
from <nl> to <cr>. It also runs chcreat to set the file creator
and chtype to set the Macintosh type information.

file.
