Overview of Unix2DOS

It is an unfortunate fact of life in the computing industry that the most common computing platforms store text files in subtly different ways.

Unix systems use a simple linefeed (Ascii 10), Macintosh Systems use a carriage return (Ascii 13) and Windows/Dos systems use a carriage return AND a linefeed (13, 10).

Mostly this different causes no problems - but occasionally these difference can be enough of a problem to make life difficult.

Unix2Dos is a common Unix based commandline pipe for converting Unix files to the DOS representation - this application (with the same name) does the same job.
