Thank you both for responding. As far as I can see, it's Sun Microsystems on SunOS 5.9 running Solaris 2.6

As I mentioned, I inherited this but not necessarily inherited the server. I inherited the functions and processes it does. To give an idea of it's main function, it's responsible for receiving a lot of data company wide through a NDM connection. It's one of those servers that needs to be up almost all the time.

From what I know, the user that is running this script is not able to run it as shell but can run it as bash, if that makes any sense at all (sorry if it doesn't, I am fairly new to understand this)

With that said, I should be more clear. It's not that the unix2dos command doesn't work. It does work. It just doesn't work in every case for how they want it to work. The person who wrote this code, made it overly complicated because the person who requested this type of data was also making things complicated. In some cases, line feeds were being left in there after the unix2dos command was ran, but they needed to be removed. In other cases, the line feeds needed to stay in there in certain spots so trying to figure out what was and wasn't needed was a challenge.

Myself and one other coworker figured out that the unix2dos command on this server was older, and wasn't doing everything it was supposed to but we weren't able to get a newer version on there. However, he had the latest on a server he had which worked 100% the way they wanted it to and essentially now he just wants to pick up the data from our server and run the command from there (we can't move the NDM process over, unfortunately, as much as I'd love to... mainly because it does other company functions that actually DO work on this one)

Hope this makes sense and thank you both for the responses.
