TextDow is a program which allows to achieve a very quick conversion for text files from DOS format to WINDOWS, and vice versa.
Take an old DOS text-file... Imagine that you have got a lot of comments written in non-English text. So you have a lot of: accents (French); dieresis (German); tilde (Spanish); and so on... As typed on DOS-mode, it looks like this:
All those special characters are interpreted differently in DOS and in Windows (even with Windows 95...). So a DOS-generated text opened with notepad looks like this:
This conversion can surely be made in all the known word-processors, but TextDow gives you a short conversion way which is very useful as far as you do not need to put the text in a word-processor format, and this conversion is very quick even with big files. Take a look at TextDow's screen:
(TextDow of course can convert a Windows text file into a DOS text file).
And now, look at the converted file: as you see, happiness is here again:
Please notice: TextDow 3.0 is BILINGUAL: English and French.
Please notice again: TextDow can be run with parameters:
tdw32 /filein /fileout /mode /r
filein - input file
fileout - output file
mode - w for dos-to-windows, d for windows-to-dos
r - if the program is to be automatically closed after generation
for example: tdw32 /expledos.txt /expledos.cvt.txt /w /r
