with regards,

Yes there is unix2dos and dos2unix available on linux. Probably just before transferring your file to windows, you can do a unix2dos on the linux m/c itself.

Hi..

how to give the command? plz help me am new to this lynux thing..at the $ prompt, i gave unix2dos myfile, its coming bash: unix2dos: command not found..and when i typed man unix2dos its giving no manual entry for unix2dos..

plz plz help!!

The reason could be the PATH settings.

Try this.

Code:

/usr/bin/unix2dos myfile

If you still encounter the same issue,

then try a

Code:

whereis unix2dos

It should give you some results. Try the first unix2dos in the result

-vino

when i gave whereis unix2dos it is giving unix2dos: only..vats dis mean? where is it stored..and after going to /usr/bin and gave ls unix2dos it is telling no such files/command or so..pls tell me what to do?

with thanx,

Post the results of

Code:

uname -a

Possibly unix2dos could be in some other directory.
