- Perhaps the best DOS<->UNIX EOL program for PCs is FLIP:
-
- File interchange program flip version 1.0a. Copyright 1989 Rahul Dhesi,
- All rights reserved. Both noncommercial and commercial copying, use, and
- creation of derivative works are permitted in accordance with the
- requirements of the GNU license. This program does newline conversions.
-
- Usage: flip -umhvtsbz file ...
-
- One of -u, -m, or -h is required; others are optional. See user manual.
-
- -u convert to **IX format (CR LF => LF, lone CR or LF unchanged,
- trailing control Z removed, embedded control Z unchanged)
- -m convert to MS-DOS format (lone LF => CR LF, lone CR unchanged)
- -h give this help message
- -v be verbose, print filenames as they are processed
- -t touch files (don't preserve timestamps)
- -s strip high bit
- -b convert binary files too (else binary files are left unchanged)
- -z truncate file at first control Z encountered
-
- May be invoked as "toix" (same as "flip -u") or "toms" (same as "flip -m").
