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
