A UNIX-to-DOS conversion can also be done on a Sun using the sed
utility:
sed 's/$/^M/' <infile >outfile
Note that ^M is the control-M character which on a Sun is entered on
the command line by first pressing ^V followed by ^M, NOT by only
pressing ctrl-M or, worse yet ^ followed by M! infile is the UNIX
file and outfile is the DOS filename. This script simply substitutes
(s) at the end of each line ($) a ^M. You can add a ^Z character
(end-of-file) at the end of the DOS file with a text editor such as
emacs or simply leave it off for most purposes.
