I installed Fixcrlf.exe from the Samba site. I tried it out on my NT 4.0
station, but it doesn't seem to accomplish anything. Specifically:
- I bring up a file in Notepad - the text is one long line with black
squares at the end of records, indicating that there are LF's but
not CRLF's.
- I drag the file icon from Explorer on to the FixCRLF icon and am
rewarded with an "About FixCRLF" pop-up, telling me it's version
0.1 and offering apologies for lack of long filename support. The
name of my file is crlf.txt, so I assume this is just a generic
apology, not an error message.
- I hit the "Close" button.
- I bring up the file in Notepad - the text is one long line with
black squares at the end of records ...
Am I doing something wrong? Or does FixCRLF just not work on NT 4.0? If so,
is there a 4.0 solution?
While I'm at it, I was thinking a CRLF detector would be nice, too - you
could drag a file to it (or it to a file) and it would blink red for CRLF,
green for LF, yellow for a mixture and blue for binary (neither). Just a
wish - I'm too new to MS OS to do anything about it.
