Nope - that works ok. (BTW - you were fast on the reply!)
I did try:
E:\>dos2unix -n Zot.txt Foo.txt
dos2unix: converting file Zot.txt to file Foo.txt in Unix format...
E:\>ls
Foo.txt Zot.txt
I thought using -n might suffice as a quick workaround for Fergus so I tried:
E:\>dos2unix -n Zot.txt Zot.txt
dos2unix: converting file Zot.txt to file Zot.txt in Unix format...
E:\>ls
Foo.txt ZOT.TXT
Nuts! So the problem manifests if the input and output files are the same
whether using -n or not. (Sorry Fergus - no workaround.)
As an aside, I experimented with "ed" to change a file and re-write it
presuming it might behave as dos2nix - nope - it preserved mixed case ok.
