The dos2unix command converts a file from DOS format to UNIX format.  The converted file replaces the original file. 

Subdirectory names that contain the ’/’ or ’\’ separator are supported.  If you use the ’\’ separator or wildcards, you must enclose file names in quotes to protect them from the shell. 

The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:\.

The following exit values are returned:

0Success. 

1Failure.
