I can't see a reason why unix2dos should not work, even an older version. Does it if you run it interactively? Does it work on your data files, or mayhap on highly simplified test files?
For clarity, you might want to simplify your - overcomplicated - script as well, and add some decent error checking and logging.

SYNOPSIS

EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of unix2dos: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the
current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.
FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default
mtools working directory is A:. Executable file
