Ooops, you've got the UNIX/DOS end-of-line thing backwards.

Perhaps the best DOS<->UNIX EOL program for PCs is FLIP:

File interchange program flip version 1.0a.  Copyright 1989 Rahul Dhesi,
All rights reserved.  Both noncommercial and commercial copying, use, and
creation of derivative works are permitted in accordance with the
requirements of the GNU license.  This program does newline conversions.

   Usage:     flip -umhvtsbz file ...

One of -u, -m, or -h is required;  others are optional.  See user manual.

   -u     convert to **IX format (CR LF => LF, lone CR or LF unchanged,
          trailing control Z removed, embedded control Z unchanged)
   -m     convert to MS-DOS format (lone LF => CR LF, lone CR unchanged)
   -h     give this help message
   -v     be verbose, print filenames as they are processed
   -t     touch files (don't preserve timestamps)
   -s     strip high bit
   -b     convert binary files too (else binary files are left unchanged)
   -z     truncate file at first control Z encountered

May be invoked as "toix" (same as "flip -u") or "toms" (same as "flip -m").
