Subject:   CRLF/LF conversion between OS/2<->Linux

Hi All,
What tools are available to painlessly do a text-file conversion between 
the 2 systems so I can edit a Linux ks.cfg file on an OS/2 box & yet 
still have it read properly on a Linux box?

FTP in over after using e, ee, eee, epm :-)

Works fine for AIX anyway, and FTPing removes the extended attribute
rubbish.

If the end of line is causing problems you could use flip (flip -u filename.cfg)
available here:-

Plenty of other utilities also available to do the same thing.

#unix2dos - UNIX to DOS text file format converter
#dos2unix - DOS/MAC to UNIX text file format converter


The Graham Integrator 様様様様様様様様様様様様様

ToUNIX - Convert OS/2 text to UNIX text files

Usage: ToUNIX <File In> [File Out]

ToUNIX reads text files from OS/2 systems and
converts them to UNIX text files.
UNIX systems use a Line Feed character as the end
of line character DOS text files use a Carriage
Return and Line Feed character pair as the end of
line marker.

Example

ToUNIX NEWUNZIP.DOC UNZIP.DOC

ToUNIX will convert the DOS text file
NEWUNZIP.DOC to the UNIX text file UNZIP.DOC.

This is the complement program to FromUNIX.

---

though, is there really a need to do so ?

Thanks Ian,
You solution is probably simpler, if I had a working Linux box to ftp to ;)
Voytek's solution fits better at the moment.
Just goes to show you how much easier things are to do when you have a 
LAN & a few PCs connected to it that can do different good-stuff.
