Shortly after sending the email, I found the solution (doesn't it always
work like that?). Here is the script that I used:
sed 's/$/^M/g' unixfile > windowsfile
You have to hit the crtl-V sequence before you type the ctrl-M as well as
after so it puts in the actual value rather than the literal text. But it
works great!

First, check that your system doesn't have a utod (Unix to DOS)
command. That would just be a pipe command. utod < foo > foo.dos
Otherwise, here's a little Perl program:
while (<>)
{
s/$/\r/;
print;
}
Type this into a file (call it utod.pl) and then do this:
perl utod.pl < foo > foo1
and foo1 will be a carriage-returned copy of foo.
Good luck,
Vic
