unix2dos - convert text file from ISO format to DOS format
SYNOPSIS
unix2dos
[
-ascii
]
[
-iso
]
[
-7
]
originalfile
convertedfile
DESCRIPTION
unix2dos
converts
ISO
standard characters to the corresponding characters in the
DOS
extended character set.
This command may be invoked from either
DOS
or SunOS.
However, 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 characters 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
characters.
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 converting your
file. Your converted file is stored under the name indicated on the
second line of this message.
