So it's basically CSV already, but the last column is a problem. OK. You can tell awk "substitute / for , in the very last column". You can also tell it 'print \r\n at the end of lines' so you don't need unix2dos after:

Code:
awk '{sub(/\//, ",", $NF)} 1' FS="," OFS="," ORS="\r\n" inputfile > outputfile

Thanks Corona. But as I said, there's many columns (way too many to paste here) and several of them have the format xxx/xxx, not just the last column. It just needs to ignore column 2 and change the delimiter everywhere else.

Thanks

Isn't that column 4?

Code:
awk '{sub(/\//, ",", $4)} 1' FS="," OFS="," ORS="\r\n" inputfile > outputfile

Correct, column 4 in the sample input. However, it also applies to columns 8, 12, 16, 20, etc.

In a regular pattern? Every 4 columns?

Code:
awk '{for(N=4; N<=NF; N+=4) sub(/\//, ",", $N) } 1' FS="," OFS="," ORS="\r\n" inputfile > outputfile
