NAME

topc − convert file to PC format

SYNOPSIS

topc [ −c ] [ filename ... ]

DESCRIPTION

topc reads a file in sequence, converts it to IBM PC (MSDOS) text file format, by replacing any carriage return or line feed with a carriage return and a line feed, and displays the results on the standard output.  file is assumed to be a regular text file.  Thus

% topc goodies

converts goodies to a PC format and displays the results on the standard output, and

% topc file1 file2 >file3

concatenates the first two files, converts them to a PC format, and places the result on the third. 

If no filename argument is given, or if the argument ‘−’ is given, topc reads from the standard input.  If the standard input is a terminal, input is terminated by an EOF signal, usually ^D. 

OPTIONS

−cChange input files.  If −c is used, the output is not directed to standard output.  Instead, the input files are converted in place.

BUGS

topc only works on regular text files.
