+This program converts line endings of text files between MS-DOS and **IX
+formats. It detects binary files in a nearly foolproof way and leaves them
+alone unless you override this. It will also leave files alone that are already
+in the right format and preserves file timestamps. User interrupts are handled
+gracefully and no garbage or corrupted files left behind. 'flip' does not
+convert files to a different character set, and it can not handle Apple
+Macintosh line endings (CR only). For that (and more), you can use the 'recode'
+program (package 'recode').
