This sounds like an unecessary step; why not have the shell script add the 
proper newline/carriage return, rather than having the extra step of 
running unix2dos each and every time?  The perl script I am using adds \r\n 
to each line of the dynamically created file... wouldn't there be an 
equivalent in a shell script (if you couldn't tell, I do not do shell 
scripts, though I know I should).
