The unix-to-dos command enables you to convert a UNIX system text file

to the MS-DOS format.

Because MS-DOS and the UNIX System treat their text files differently,

you have to convert one file to another. If you are working in MS-DOS

with a file created under the UNIX System, your file needs extra

carriage returns at the end of each line. You can use either MS-DOS or

the UNIX System path separator for this conversion.

Use one of the methods below for the unix-to-dos command:

Command Menu: Select unix-to-dos and strike ENTER.

Command Line: Type unix-to-dos and strike ENTER.

1. The UNIX-to-DOS Copy form appears.

2. Enter the name of the UNIX System text file you want to

convert and strike ENTER.

3. Enter the new name of the file you want the MS-DOS file

to be and strike SAVE.

Even though you can convert files between UNIX System and MS-DOS

format, some MS-DOS programs cannot exchange files with other

programs, either MS-DOS or UNIX system programs. A text file also

called an ASCII file, is a file that contains only text. Many MS-DOS

programs, even word processors, do not use this type of file. Instead,

they put special codes in their files that other programs cannot

understand. Often, however, programs allow you to read in or save

files in ASCII format. Consult your program's instructions to see

if this is possible.
