I wrote a couple of shell scripts that use sed to make the conversion back and
forth.   Also I have a couple to convert filenames from lower case to UPPER and
back again.
Here they are:  (note: they all are executible and work on whatever arguments
		       they are given. wildcards are okay.)

==> mkdos <==  ;;;   this one goes from unix to dos files
               ;;;   the sed command is 's/$/^M/g' and you get the ^M by
	       ;;;   typeing backslash return
#! /bin/csh -f
foreach filename ($*)
     echo processing $filename
     cat $filename | sed 's/$/
     mv ~/.mkdos.tmp $filename
end
echo "Done"

==> mkunix <==
#! /bin/csh -f
foreach filename ($*)
    echo processing $filename
    cat $filename | sed "s/
    mv ~/.mkunix.tmp $filename
end
echo "done "

==> mklc <==      ;; make lower case
#! /bin/csh -f
foreach name ($*)
   mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'` 
end

==> mkuc <==      ;; make upper case
#! /bin/csh -f
foreach name ($*)
   mv $name `echo $name | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'` 
end
