RPM Unix to DOS Transform

Sat, 10/05/2019 - 20:25 By Dave Brooks

What it does

Converts Unix-style newlines into Windows-style newlines. This transform verifies each ASCII line feed character (0x0A) is preceded by a carriage return (0x0D) and eliminates stair-step printing.

Purpose

This transform originally came into existence shortly after the first time we sent a plain text file directly to a printer, and saw the stair-step effect.

Setup

None; there are no options that influence this. If you can think of any please drop us a line.
