unix2dos equivalent in linux

Question

I am planning to migrate my application coded in C/C++ and running on UNIX to Linux Suse 11.1. I have some places where unix2dos is used. I knew that flip is alternative to unix2dos in linux. Please let me know is there any risk involved in using flip on linux as unix2dos equivalent?

Accepted Answer

CentOS no longer includes it in a default distro, but is readily available.

Command:

```
yum install unix2dos
```

You may as well install its mirror image, dos2unix

```
yum install dos2unix
```

For some reason, saving 35k of space on a distro was that important, so we can keep updating threads like this.
