The following is a little program which will do the converse on MS-DOS.
It is rather primitive and needs to be invoked with commandline redirection,
but it works.

Compile with any reasonable DOS C Compiler and use like this:

	addcr < unixfile > dosfile


/* addcr.c -- add CR characters to UNIX LF characters.
 * In the Public Domain
 */

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
	int c;

	while ( ( c = getchar() ) != EOF )
	{

/* Most DOS C Compilers will output 'CR/NL' for the C character '\n' */
		if ( c == '\012') putchar('\n');

/* If the above does not work for you, delete the above line and use 
 * the following instead:
 */
/*		if ( c == '\012') putchar('\015'); */
/*		putchar(c);	*/
	}
}

/* End of addcr.c */
