Open an ASCII text file in DOS mode

[VARITRONIX]

I have written a script that will generate a report in UNIX. However, when I "ftp" this file to Windows98 and try to open it, it looks totally different from what I can see in UNIX. Is there any convertor which can convert an ASCII file in UNIX to be readable in DOS?

Hi,

use the command

ux2dos

in you script ie:

| ux2dos > file

when you FTPs that file to Windows98 you must transfer it in ASCII mode.

FTP will convert to DOS mode

To Andreas,

Thanks for your help. I was searching for other C program called unix2dos.c but didn't know HP-UX has this utility already.
