	      unix2dos a.txt -c iso b.txt

	      unix2dos -c ascii a.txt -c iso b.txt


       Convert and replace a.txt while keeping original date stamp.

	      unix2dos -k a.txt

	      unix2dos -k -o a.txt


       Convert a.txt and write to e.txt.

	      unix2dos -n a.txt e.txt


       Convert a.txt and write to e.txt, keep date stamp  of  e.txt  same  as

	      unix2dos -k -n a.txt e.txt


       Convert and replace a.txt. Convert b.txt and write to e.txt.

	      unix2dos a.txt -n b.txt e.txt

	      unix2dos -o a.txt -n b.txt e.txt


       Convert	c.txt and write to e.txt. Convert and replace a.txt.  Convert
       and replace b.txt. Convert d.txt and write to f.txt.

	      unix2dos -n c.txt e.txt -o a.txt b.txt -n d.txt f.txt
