samba - May 1999 - Samba Digest 2089/2090 - DOS to UNIX Conversion

Hello,

It seems that a lot of people hate Windoze in such a way that they only 
accept solutions that are not coming from M$.

If you want to view UNIX text files correctly on a W9x or NT client you 
should use Wordpad or if you have you can also use Word. These two programs 
display the files correctly and you can save them correctly (maybe there is 
some problem with the extension).

Why buying or downloading additional software if it is not really 
necessary.

Best regards,

Axel Neumann

Regarding the problem with extension, it is sufficient to place the intended
file name in double quotes (e.g. "my_code.c").  This prevents Word or
Wordpad
from appending the .doc extension.
