NAME
      unix2dos - convert text file from ISO format to DOS format
 


SYNOPSIS
      unix2dos [ -ascii ]  [ -iso ]  [ -7 ]  originalfile  conver-
      tedfile
 


DESCRIPTION
      unix2dos converts ISO standard characters to the correspond-
      ing characters in the DOS extended character set.
 
      This command may be invoked from either DOS or  SunOS.  How-
      ever,  the  filenames must conform to the conventions of the
      environment in which the command is invoked.
 
      If the original file and the converted file  are  the  same,
      unix2dos will rewrite the original file after converting it.
 


OPTIONS
      -ascii
            Adds carriage returns and converts end of file charac-
            ters  in  SunOS  format  text  files to conform to DOS
            requirements.
 
      -iso  This is the default.  Converts ISO standard characters
            to  the  corresponding  character  in the DOS extended
            character set.
 
      -7    Convert 8 bit SunOS characters to 7  bit  DOS  charac-
            ters.
 


DIAGNOSTICS
      File filename not found, or no read permission
            The input file you specified does not exist, or you do
            not have read permission (check with the SunOS command
            ls -l).
 
      Bad output filename filename, or no write permission
            The output file you specified is  either  invalid,  or
            you  do not have write permission for that file or the
            directory that contains it.  Check also that the drive
            or diskette  is not write-protected.
 
      Error while writing to temporary file
            An error occurred while converting your file, possibly
            because   there  is  not  enough  space on the current
            drive.  Check the amount of space on the current drive
            using  the  DIR  command.   Also  be  certain that the
            default  diskette  or  drive  is  write-enabled   (not
            write-protected).   Note  that when this error occurs,
            the original file remains intact.

      Could not rename tmpfile to filename.
 
      Translated tmpfile name = filename.
            The program could not perform the final step  in  con-
            verting your file. Your converted file is stored under
            the name indicated on the second line of this message.
