Benjamin Lin's implementations of dos2unix and unix2dos +are part of several Linux distributions such as RedHat, Fedora, Suse, +Gentoo and some others. On Slackware one finds fromdos and todos but +these implementations are not included. This update includes all RedHat +patches and fixes several other problems. + +These implementations of dos2unix and unix2dos have been modelled after +dos2unix/unix2dos under SunOS/Solaris. They have similar conversion +modes, namely ascii, 7bit and iso. The first versions were made by +John Birchfield in 1989, and in 1995 rewritten from scratch by Benjamin +Lin. Mac to Unix conversion was added by Bernd Johannes Wuebben in 1998, +Unix to Mac by Erwin in 2010. + +Features: + Native language support: Dutch, English, Esperanto, German, Spanish. + Automatically skips binary and non-regular files In-place, paired, + or stdio mode conversion. Keep original file dates option. 7-bit and + iso conversion modes like SunOS dos2unix. + +Dos2Unix includes: dos2unix - DOS/MAC to UNIX text file format converter +unix2dos - UNIX to DOS/MAC text file format converter |
