You could use the tr command :-
tr '\012' '\174' < filein | tr '\015' '\012' | unix2dos > fileout
Explanation of above code:-
- use tr on the file to convert all 0A to 7C
- pipe result into tr to convert all 0D to 0A
- pipe result into unix2dos to expand all 0A to 0A0D
Notes:-
- Input lines can be of any length.
- Transfer files in binary mode to prevent automatic conversion.
