unix2dos

unix2dos(1)							   User Commands						       unix2dos(1)

NAME

       unix2dos - convert text file from ISO format to DOS format

SYNOPSIS

       unix2dos [-ascii] [-iso] [-7] [-437 | -850 | -860 | -863 | -865]  originalfile convertedfile

DESCRIPTION

       The unix2dos utility 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

       The following options are supported:

       -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	       Converts 8 bit SunOS characters to 7 bit DOS characters.

       On non-i386 systems, unix2dos will attempt to obtain the keyboard type to determine which code page to use. Otherwise, the default  is  US.
       The user may override the code page with one of the following options:

       -437	       Use US code page

       -850	       Use multilingual code page

       -860	       Use Portuguese code page

       -863	       Use French Canadian code page

       -865	       Use Danish code page

OPERANDS

       The following operands are required:

       originalfile    The original file in ISO format that is being converted to DOS format.

       convertedfile   The new file in DOS format that has been converted from the original ISO file format.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWesu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       dos2unix(1), ls(1), attributes(5)

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 (see ls(1)).

       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-pro-
	   tected). Notice that when this error occurs, the original file remains intact.

       Translated tmpfile name = filename.
       Could not rename tmpfile to 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.
