The reason that "textify" failed in Gideon's case is that his file has NO indication of "end of paragraph" - there is a carriage return at the end of every line, and no special indication of the start of a paragraph. There is literally nothing for any tool to "pick up on". It's a horribly-formatted file.
Textify works beautifully on the overwhelming majority of files. I must have used it on literally hundreds of files, with great success. It also has the useful feature of being able to create HTML output, with _ _ replaced with italics.
