[Cialug] Windows End-Of-Line?

[Josh More]

unix2dos (on some systems)
linux2dos (on other systems)
flip -u (on most modern systems)

in vim, it's  :s/$/^V^M/g    (control-v control-m)

You can do it with sed too, but I always use vim, 'cause I'm just wacky that way.

Perhaps (I don't know/use sed).

Windows expects the newline character to be preceeded by a carriage
return, so what you want to do is a global replacement

    \n -> \r\n
