Text Conversion

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Charles,
The reason you got this type of answer, partially, is because
this topic has been discussed <to death> on this list several
times.  You might want to take a look at the searchable archives 
for the samba lists, and see what was decided and why, and other
suggestions for your issue.
Hope this helps,
Don

Joel,

Not everyone is a programmer, and if there is a way to do this automatically
when the files are copied, so much the better, even if you are a programmer.

Man, answers like that really gripe me sometimes.

On the flipside, thans for the scripts -

Charles

Samba doesn't do this for you.
There is software out there that gives you drag and drop conversion from
windows to linux/unix text formatting, and some of it is free.
But, it is so easy to do, cat file | sed 's/\x0d$//', why bother?
To go back, cat file | sed 's/^.*$/&\x0D/'
This takes a newer version of sed.
