xtod.exe(LM)                    19 June 1992                    xtod.exe(LM)


 Name

    xtod.exe - change file format from UNIX System format to DOS.

 Syntax

    xtod  [ filename ]  [ > output.file ]

 Description

    The DOS command xtod.exe converts a file from UNIX format to DOS format.
    The DOS files terminate a line of text with a carriage return and a
    linefeed, while UNIX files terminate a line with a linefeed only.  Also
    DOS places a Z at the end of a file, while the UNIX System does not.
    Some programs and utilities are sensitive to this difference and some are
    not.  If a text or data file is not being interpreted correctly, use the
    dtox.exe and xtod.exe conversion utilities.  The xtod.exe command adds
    the extra carriage return to the end of each line and adds the Z to the
    end of the file.  This utility is not required for converting binary
    object files.

    If no filename is specified on the command line, xtod.exe takes input
    from standard input.  Utility output goes to standard output.

    To run this command, first copy the xtod.exe file from /usr/lib/lm/dos
    directory to the DOS or OS/2 workstation.
