unix2dos - convert text file from ISO format to DOS format
unix2dos
[ -ascii ] [ -iso ] [ -7 ] originalfile convertedfile
SUNWesu
unix2dos converts ISO
standard characters to the corresponding
characters in the DOS
extended character set.
This command may be invoked
from either DOS
or SunOS. However, the filenames must conform to the conventions
of the environment in which the command is invoked.
If the original file
and the converted file are the same, unix2dos will rewrite the original
file after converting it.
- -ascii
- Adds carriage returns and converts
end of file characters in SunOS format text files to conform to DOS
requirements.
- -iso
- This is the default. Converts ISO
standard characters to the corresponding
character in the DOS
extended character set.
- -7
- Convert 8 bit SunOS characters
to 7 bit DOS
characters.
- File filename not found, or no read
permission
- The input file you specified does not exist, or you do not have
read permission (check with the SunOS command ls -l).
- Bad output filename
filename, or no write permission
- The output file you specified is either
invalid, or you do not have write permission for that file or the directory
that contains it. Check also that the drive or diskette is not write-protected.
- Error while writing to temporary file
- An error occurred while converting
your file, possibly because there is not enough space on the current drive.
Check the amount of space on the current drive using the DIR
command.
Also be certain that the default diskette or drive is write-enabled (not
write-protected). Note that when this error occurs, the original file remains
intact.
- Could not rename tmpfile to filename.
-
- Translated tmpfile name =
filename.
- The program could not perform the final step in converting your
file. Your converted file is stored under the name indicated on the second
line of this message.
