Tofrodos
Converts text files between MSDOS/Windows and Unix formats
What is Tofrodos?
Tofrodos is a text file conversion utility that converts ASCII and Unicode UTF-8 files between the MSDOS (or Windows) format, which traditionally have CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) pairs as their new line delimiters, and the Unix format, which usually have LFs (line feeds) to terminate each line.
It is a useful utility to have around when you have to convert files between MSDOS (or Windows) and Unix/Linux/BSD (and her clones and variants). It comes standard with a number of systems and is often found on the system as "todos", "fromdos", "dos2unix" and "unix2dos".

Tofrodos is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2. The source code is provided with the Tofrodos package.
Downloading Tofrodos
Tofrodos comes in source code form. Precompiled binaries (executables) are only provided for the 64-bit Windows console (ie, run the "todos.exe" and "fromdos.exe" executables in a command prompt window). If you are using Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD or any other system, you will need to compile the source code yourself. Makefiles for Linux/Mac OS X/FreeBSD (same makefile) and a few compilers under Windows/MSDOS are provided.
The documentation for tofrodos is included in the download. Just open "tofrodos.html" in your browser to read the manual, or, if you want to recompile the program, see the "readme.txt" file.
