You can use the Xenix utilities dotx and xtod.
barton@holston.UUCP (Barton A. Fisk) (10/24/89)
For reasons beyond my control (US Govt Computer System) I have
to translate all line-feed characters in my SCO Xenix system
text file to cr/lf's before sending them to a DOS front end
pre-editing site that bombs on lf's only.
I've tried using stty, but it seems this only works for
character dev's not files.
I'm probably missing something really simple here, it's been
a long day.
Would someone point me to the right utility, I'm not a C programmer
or I'm sure a simple C program would do it.
Any help appreciated.

May I point out that your Subject line is misleading. If you just wanted to change things in a file, a simple sed script would do the trick. It seems that you need to change lf to cr/lf << when transmitting a file to another machine >>. If you have Compuserve access, grab XCMALT from LIB 5 of the TANGENT Forum. If you don't. E-mail me and I will send you the source. XCMALT has an option to do the translation you ask for when transmitting files. It will also perform put and take operations, or transfers using xmodem or CompuServe B-Protocol. It can use scripts to automate logins to foreign systems. It can also capture your remote session to a file. -- Jean-Pierre Radley jpr@jpradley.uucp New York, NY 72160.1341@compuserve.com

The doscp command automatically adds cr's to the lf when you copy a text file
to a dos disk.
