I wrote the dos2unix and unix2dos utilities in C and would gladly give the code away with whatever licence suites the FreeBSD project better... i don't even need to be acknowledged for writing the code. i submitted a PR making a port of the code i wrote only because someone from the core team told me a port was more appropiate than a change request for the OS. i'll resubmit a PR later this week with the actual code included. regards, -oscar > Michael > --- > Michael C.
