    Make an unix file in windows

    Hi,

    I've got a program in ansi C that I can compile with DJGPP in my PC windows XP to dos format.
    Meanwhile, someone told me that there is a way of converting, in an automatic way, a file in dos to unix format using something called dos2unix.

    Does anyone knows anything about this?


    Best regards,

    Yeah, you type

    man dos2unix

    on your unix box
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Just curious, what is the difference? CRLF in dos as opposed to CR in unix?

    They're end of line markers.

    CRLF (carriage return/line feed) for Windows.
    LF for Unix.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
