Dos2Unix is a console-based application that is able to perform conversions between DOS-encoded and Unix files. It has options that allow you to convert DOS-encoded text files to files with Unix line breaks.

Despite the name, the functionality of this application is not limited to converting between DOS and Unix formats, as it comes with a utility that can do the reverse operation. In addition, the package also comes bundled with other tools that allow converting MAC-encoded text files to Unix format and vice versa.

In addition to English, Dos2Unix natively supports multiple languages, including Spanish, German, Dutch, Russian and Esperanto. It also allows you to convert file encoding modes from UTF-16 to UTF-8.

There are various other options available to you. You can instruct the application to act only on line breaks or to convert between DOS and ISO character sets. By default, the application skips binary files, but you can configure it to force conversion.

Dos2Unix can optionally convert 8-bit characters to 7-bit spaces, and can be instructed to preserve the original file date. It can handle Unicode byte order marks, and supports ASCII, ISO, 7-bit, and MAC conversion modes.

You can create new files to save the output or overwrite old ones. The application can be run in quiet mode, which means that all warnings will be suppressed automatically.

Dos2Unix supports multiple conversion modes to help you modify the encoding type of DOS, MAC and Unix text files. It only runs in the command prompt, so some people may find it a little difficult to use. However, the simple syntax makes it easy for people who are familiar with the console and how to use it to master it.
