- UNIX2DOS - Convert Unix Text Files to DOS Text Files
- Copyright 1995
- Version 1.1 - February 10, 1995
- By Mike St. Clair
-
- UNIX2DOS will convert text files that follow the Unix convention to the
- DOS convention by inserting carriage returns before each line feed.
-
- UNIX2DOS is Freeware. This means you are not required to pay any license
- fee to make legal use of it but the author retains ownership and the
- copyright. UNIX2DOS can be freely distributed as long as no charge is
- required in excess of the cost of distribution. This file (UNIX2DOS.DOC)
- must be included with any copy of the program.
-
- There is no warranty that UNIX2DOS performs any useful function. Still I
- would be delighted to hear if you liked it or it has been useful, to
- accept reports of problems and to receive suggestions for possible future
- enhancements. I wrote this program to support my electronic newsletter,
- PAF Review. When I began posting text versions on the Internet I found
- that it was desirable to follow the Unix standard for text files rather
- than the DOS standard. This required that I remove the carriage return
- characters leaving only line feeds between lines. Since some DOS programs
- demand that the carriage returns be present, this program will allow them
- to be easily inserted in the files.
-
- To convert a file, issue the command "UNIX2DOS filename". The original
- file will be renamed by replacing its file extension with ".UNX" to
- allow you to reverse the process. Instead of a single file name, you
- may use a standard DOS wild card specification. (e.g. *.*, test?.txt) If
- the files to be converted are not in the current directory, you may
- prefix the file name with the complete path specfication; one that
- begins with the drive letter and the root directory.
