[GRLUG] unix2dos?

[Eric Beversluis]

I'm reading in Sobell, _Linux Commands..._, where he talks about
unix2dos being necessary to send Linux text files to a Windows machine,
and am confused.

I think that I successfully send text files back and forth between
Linux, Windows and Mac all the time without having to use this utility.
Is this something that is obsolete in more modern operating systems? Or
do the text editors now handle this automatically?

Thanks.
