Hi All
I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me what tools one may use to
convert MS dos .prn files whoses contents is all text to .txt files so that
these files may be used in my linux box and I may through the Windows box
out.
When you say "the content is all text", can you be a bit more exact? (I haven't used DOS for years and I cannot recall what the.prn extension signifies.)
If this is some sort of ASCII file, then it may be the case that all you need to do is convert the EOL characters from the DOS standard (ASCII 13) to the Unix/Linux standard (ASCII 10). The tool to do that has several names; on my (Debian) system, it is called dos2unix. Or, depending on the details of the file structure, you may have to do some extra reformatting. (If you have a short sample you can provide, feel free to send it to me offlist and I'll see what I can see.)
If this is some sort of graphics image file, you will need some sort of specialized converter. Karthik's response was an example of this, but only an example.
