Flip! Mac OS
Is your Mac up to date with the latest version of the Mac operating system? Is it using the version required by a product that you want to use with your Mac? Which versions are earlier (older) or later (newer, more recent)? To find out, learn which version is installed now.
- Flip-Q is compatible with PC OS versions from XP to Windows 10 and all Intel based Mac computers. Each ProLine Plus, Flex Plus, UltraFlex Plus, Stage Pro, Q-Pro, Robo, Robo Jr, and Broadcast 20 monitor based system includes Flip-Q or Mac-Q on USB and a downloadable version.
- A little known trick allows users to rotate the Mac screen, thereby allowing a display to run in a vertical 90 degree orientation, or even in a flipped mode. Display rotation is possible on any monitor connected to any Mac, whether that’s an external display or even on the the primary built-in screens of a MacBook Pro, Air, or an iMac.
If your macOS isn't up to date, you may be able to update to a later version.
Which macOS version is installed?
From the Apple menu in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Big Sur, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.

Which macOS version is the latest?
These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Big Sur. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.
If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.

ASCII text files can contain different forms of newlines, dependingon which operating system is being used. Converting between these formatsis often necessary if you use several operating systems. The flip programwill convert the newlines to any format given in the table below:
| Operating System | Newline Character(s) |
| Microsoft Windows / MS-DOS | 0Dh0Ah |
| Apple Macintosh OS 9 and earlier | 0Dh |
| Unix (e.g., Linux), also Apple OS X and higher | 0Ah |

Unix and Macintosh text files use one character to indicate a newline of text. The character which is used in Unix can be representedas the hexadecimal number 0x0a (decimal number: 10) which youcan see on a Unix computer if you run a file through the od command,e.g.: od -h flip.cpp , which displays the bytes in thefile as hexadecimal numbers. Older Macs use 0x0d instead of0x0a. '0x' is a marker in C programming to indicatea hexadecimal number.
On the other hand for MS-DOS based computers, a new line of text is specified by two characters: 0x0d followed by 0x0a which function similar to a typewriter: one characteradvances the paper one line (linefeed) and the other charactermoves the current positon to the beginning of the line (carriagereturn).
If you edit a MS-DOS ASCII file in Unix you will often see the characters ^M at the end of the line. This is the extra character 0x0d that is used to indicate a new line of text in MS-DOS. More recent versions of vi and emacs automatically detect the newline style of the file and will use that style when editing the file, keeping the newlines consistent.
Many Windows 95 programs can recognize Unix text file newlines, so it is usually not too much problem going the other way by using Unix text files in MS-DOS.
If you edit a Mac-style text file in Unix (depending on the editor), you will see the entire file on a single line with ^M characters displayed instead of newlines.
The flip command will convert between each of these types of newline formats. Here is the usage statement for the program:If you want to see what format a file is in, type flip -tfilename and the program will return its analysis of the file. If the file has a mixture of methods for new lines, thenthe flip program will assign it to be a MS-DOS ASCII file. Analyzing or changing binary files (such as executable programs orsound or picture files) with the flip program does not make sense,since there may be 0x0a and 0x0d bytes in the filewhich are not intended to be new lines. However, the flip program might be able to reverse the damage if you ftp a binary fileaccidentally as an ascii file.
The flip program will overwrite the old version of a file with thespecified format although the -t will not write anythingsince that option is used only to determine the type of the file.
- View the source file for the program: flip.cpp (The header comments in the program explain other methods ofconverting between newline styles).
- download binary for:
- Mac OS X (10.4 and later, 32/64 bit universal binary)
- Compiled in NeXTStep (fat) (old version)
- On Macintosh OSX computers, you can use a flip-based application created byChristoph Dalitz which is calledConvertNewlines [zip file]The program allows switching between newline styles by dropping files into the application.
