ToFroWin CR/LF converter

ToFroWin adds the following context menu into Windows Explorer (accessible with right mouse button click over file name):

ToFroWin context menu

It simply converts between the text line endings of UN*X (CR or "\n") and DOS (CRLF or "\r\n") systems. Actually this is a Win32 GUI port of Tofrodos Ver 1.7 by Christopher Heng. ToFroWin is also able to convert files in batch: just select multiple files and convert them with one click. Beware to not corrupt binary files!

Installation:
ToFroWin is too small and too simple to make a self-installation for it. It can be easily installed "by hand".
Extract archive to any directory ("C:\Program Files\"). Then go to this directory and execute "install.bat". To uninstall execute "uninstall.bat" and then simply delete ToFroWin files.

Installation on Vista:
Symptoms: during the install/registering the DLL, RegSvr32 pops up an error:
The module "ToFroWin.dll" was loaded but the call to Dll RegisterServer
failed with error code 0x80070005. For more information about this problem,
search online using the error code as a search term.
Or, running as Administrator:
The module "ToFroWin.dll" failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored
at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary
or dependent .DLL files.  The specified module could not be found.
Solution: go to Start, Programs, Accessories, right-click on Command Prompt, run as Administrator, go to the folder you extracted ToFroWin to, and type "install".

Great thanks for Monk for discovering/fixing this Laughing out loud

Great little application! Thanks.
