Why was this posted now ?

I mean, this is a 1998 program, that's the date on the web page, man pages
and even the source code.
Is it maintened, or someone just remebered "let's register this at
fm, someone might need it" ?

Please note I do like to see more programs registered at fm, even if they
are old and known, like this one ;)

Sorry about that. We try not to announce "news" that's old, but
this
one slipped through.

Why is this program any less newsworthy than the latest .0001 version
increment to one of the projects that seem to clog the front page several
days in a row? I go to Freshmeat to find out about software; I'm not
biased against software that happens to have been written a little while
ago. If there is some project which is old but I didn't know about it
before, that's just as useful as a new project I wasn't aware of.
I can understand wanting to keep the front page uncluttered, and I'm not
suggesting a hundred backdated news announcements for the entire 2.1.x
Linux kernel series :-). But if it's okay for some projects to get new
announcements week after week, surely it's okay to have one single news
item for something like demoroniser.

If you want to tidy up Microsoft HTML, see also HTML Tidy. If you use
www_proxy, you can
configure it to use demoroniser as a filter on all pages.
(It would be handy if the project record included a section for 'related
projects', but there doesn't seem to be one.)

Is there a "demoroniser" available for straight ASCII? I know
it would be simple enough to write one, but I want something I can give to
the guy at the other end of a feed without doing his work for him.

GNU recode should do it: 'recode windows-1257..ASCII'. That might change
the line endings too though.
