- X2D(LOCAL)
-
- Name
- x2d - change file format from UNIX to MS-DOS
-
- Syntax
- x2d [infile [outfile]]
- x2d infile1 ... infileN outdir
-
- Description
- x2d converts text files from Unix to MS-DOS. DOS stores
- text files with line terminators consisting of CR/LF, and
- sometimes appends a control-Z character to the end of the
- file. Unix terminates lines with LF only, meaning Unix text
- files require slightly less space. The x2d command adds
- a CR character before each LF. Do not use this utility on
- binary object files.
-
- If no filename is specified on the command line, x2d takes
- input from standard input and sends its output to standard
- output. If a directory is specified as the destination, one
- or more input files are copied into it.
-
- This program was written due to deficiencies in the SCO Unix
- version, and due to the need for portable Unix/DOS file
- transfer utilities throughout the development environment.
