The Tempest Text File Converter is a File Manager extension that makes it easy for you to convert a text file among MS-DOS, Macintosh and UNIX formats (Note that Microsoft Windows uses the MS-DOS text file format). You might find this program useful if you often retrieve files from other systems. As the Internet grows in popularity, for example, many text files are stored in UNIX format. If you are not careful when copying such files to your PC, you might find yourself with a file that is difficult to read. The Tempest Text File Converter can easily convert these files to MS-DOS format, so you can read them. Conversely, if you want to distribute files on the network (uploading), then you might first need to convert them to a particular format.
