About:

This small utility converts MS-DOS based text files to 
Windows text files by converting the line breaks.


To Install:

Install by copying the TFC executable to your Windows
directory (or other pathed location), and double click on
the REG file.


To Use:

Right click on a program, and select the 'TFC' option. This
will convert the file, and re-save it to the same place on
your hard drive. 

  You can also use the 'TFC (+notepad)' option to automatically
load notepad in order to view the file.

   If, instead of running notepad, you want to execute Write
(for example). Then change the command line to:

tfc %1 -ewrite.exe

  You can also use TFC from the command line. To use it, you
should type:

tfc file.txt                       file.txt will get overwritten

or

tfc file.txt newfile.txt           newfile.txt will get created


   To load notepad from the command line you should use:

tfc file.txt -n                   which is identical to...
tfc file.txt -enotepad.exe

  When used from the command line TFC can display no messages.

Notes: 	

TFC will destory EXEcutables if converted accidentally!
TFC will work through read only files, but will restore
   the read only state once converted.
TFC can convert files on read only media (i.e. CDs), but will
   store the resultant files in the Windows temp directory. You
   can use the '-n' flag to load notepad, which will show the 
   actually filename used.
