In DOS, use the following:

for %f in (*.*) do dos2unix dos\%f unix\%f

If you want it in a batch file, use %%f for %f.

In UNIX (csh), use the following:

foreach i (*.*)
unix2dos unix/$i dos/$i
end

Inside vi, use the following key mappings (place these in .vi_init).

map #7 :%s/\([^^V^V^M]\)$/\1\^V^V^V^M/^M:%s/^$/\^V^V^V^M/^M
map #6 :%s/^V^V^M$//^M

The first one will convert a UNIX file into DOS file within vi.
The second one will convert DOS to UNIX. All except the first '^' in #7
(after [) is due to control-key combination.
