dos2unix on Ubuntu 10.04

Yet another "feature" from the developers of ubuntu to simplify life. "dos2unix" and "unix2dos" are missing in version 10.04 (Lucid).

First of all, install dos2unix package:

sudo aptitude install tofrodos

Then if you want "dos2unix" type "fromdos" and if you want "unix2dos", type "todos". If you have a habit of typing in the old commands, its best to create links.

Go to /usr/bin:

username@linuxbox:/usr/bin# sudo ln -s fromdos dos2unix
username@linuxbox:/usr/bin# sudo ln -s todos unix2dos
