Summary

FromUNIX converts UNIX text files to OS/2 text files.

Icon

Command Line Format

Usage: FromUNIX <File In> [File Out]

Description

FromUNIX converts text files from UNIX systems, which use a single line feed character to signal the end of a line, to OS/2 (and DOS) text files which use a carriage return and line feed character pair to indicate the end of line.

FromUNIX takes two parameters. The first File In is the file to convert. The second parameter [File Out] is optional. If the second parameter is given, the converted file will be saved to the specified file. If the second parameter is not given, the output is sent to the console. When the output is sent to the console, it may be piped into another program.

ToUNIX is the complement to this program.
