Text Conversion

[Arnold Andrews X-324-4292]

Hi,

Sorry for the late response.  If you are still interested...



There is an even easier way then that.

Checkout "dos2unix" and "unix2dos".

example:

dos2unix <dos_filename> <unix_filename>

  &

unix2dos <unix_filename> <dos_filename>


Hope that helps,

Arnold Andrews
