NAME
     unix2dos - convert text file from ISO format to DOS format

SYNOPSIS
     unix2dos [ -ascii ]  [ -iso ]  [ -7 ]  originalfile  conver-
     tedfile

DESCRIPTION
     unix2dos converts ISO standard characters to the correspond-
     ing characters in the DOS extended character set.

     This command may be invoked from either DOS or  SunOS.  How-
     ever,  the  filenames must conform to the conventions of the
     environment in which the command is invoked.

     If the original file and the converted file  are  the  same,
     unix2dos will rewrite the original file after converting it.

OPTIONS
     -ascii
           Adds carriage returns and converts end of file charac-
           ters  in  SunOS  format  text  files to conform to DOS
           requirements.

     -iso  This is the default.  Converts ISO standard characters
           to  the  corresponding  character  in the DOS extended
           character set.

     -7    Convert 8 bit SunOS characters to 7  bit  DOS  charac-
           ters.

DIAGNOSTICS
     File filename not found, or no read permission
           The input file you specified does not exist, or you do
           not have read permission (check with the SunOS command
           ls -l).

     Bad output filename filename, or no write permission
           The output file you specified is  either  invalid,  or
           you  do not have write permission for that file or the
           directory that contains it.  Check also that the drive
           or diskette  is not write-protected.

     Error while writing to temporary file
           An error occurred while converting your file, possibly
           because   there  is  not  enough  space on the current
           drive.  Check the amount of space on the current drive
           using  the  DIR  command.   Also  be  certain that the
           default  diskette  or  drive  is  write-enabled   (not
           write-protected).   Note  that when this error occurs,
           the original file remains intact.

     Could not rename tmpfile to filename.

     Translated tmpfile name = filename.
           The program could not perform the final step  in  con-
           verting your file. Your converted file is stored under
           the name indicated on the second line of this message.
