Alternatively, you could use Perl if you have it:

Code:
C:\>
C:\>type f2
M:\mmarimut_v6.4.0_pit_01\java\build.xml@@\main\v6.4.0_pit_a
M:\mmarimut_v6.4.0_pit_01\ADBasicView.java@@\main\v6.4.0_pit_a
C:\>
C:\>perl -pi.bak -e "s/$/\\0/" f2
C:\>
C:\>type f2
M:\mmarimut_v6.4.0_pit_01\java\build.xml@@\main\v6.4.0_pit_a\0
M:\mmarimut_v6.4.0_pit_01\ADBasicView.java@@\main\v6.4.0_pit_a\0
C:\>
