Re: printing linux files

[Jason Castonguay <jcast@ntplx.net>]

Hi there, Charles.

If you are using SlackWare, there is a program called 'todos'.  This
program will take a file and turn the cr's to crlf sequences.  Here's an
example using "file" in substitute for an actual file name:

todos < file > file

This will take the file directed to and output it into the file you
specify.  If you type:

todos < file | lpr

This will output the converted file to the 'lpr' command.

Note: there is a program (fromdos) which does the reverse (converts crlf
sequences to just cr).

I hope this helps.


Best regards,

Jason
