About This Document

The format of ASCII files under DOS and UNIX are different. Under UNIX, the end of a line is represented by a linefeed character and the end of a file is represented by the character ^D (new line). However, in DOS, the end of a line is represented by a carriage return followed by a linefeed character, and the end of a file is represented by the character ^Z. There are several ways to convert UNIX formatted files to DOS and vice versa. This document applies to AIX Versions 3.2, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3.
