NAME
       unix2dos	-- convert ASCII files from UNIX's LF to DOS's CR/LF

SYNOPSIS
       unix2dos	[-p] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
       When  called  without  parameters,  the unix2dos	utility	reads from the
       standard	input, transforming LF characters into CR/LF pairs and writing
       them to the standard output.  If	there's	at least one  filename	speci-
       fied,  the  file	 operands are processed	in command line	order, reading
       from the	files specified	and overwriting	them with the  converted  ver-
       sion.

       If  the	[-p] option is given, both the access and modification time of
       the original file are preserved.

       It's important to note that the unix2dos	utility	is the same program as
       the dos2unix(1) utility.	It simply checks its name to see  what	opera-
       tion  is	expected.  If you change the name of the binary, unix2dos will
       default to converting files from	UNIX to	DOS.

RETURN VALUES
       The unix2dos utility exits 0 on success,	and 1 if there	was  an	 error
       processing any of the files. Note however that execution	of the program
       does  not stop if one of	the files has a	problem. The offending file is
       simply skipped and processing of	the remaining files continues.

SEE ALSO
       dos2unix(1)

NOTES
       All Complains, or even better, suggestions should be addressed  to  the
       author Oscar Bonilla <obonilla@galileo.edu>
