ibm2a and a2ibm are very closely related programs for converting IBM-PC ASCII text files into Atari ATASCII text files or vice-versa. Both handle TABS and EOLs. Both require input and output filenames as arguments. Their claim to fame is not that they do TABs and EOLs, but that they also handle box graphics characters, and even the heart, spade, diamond and club graphics, so that text-with-graphics files can be converted from IBM-PC to Atari 8-bit format and back.
