History
=======
Version 2
---------
Added support for compiling with gcc-ia16.

Version 1
---------
This version of dos2unix is based on the code found in the link below
[1].  I put this together because of annoyances in other utilities.
For example, when run in dosbox-x, the FreeDOS version of dos2unix [2]
gives the error shown below [3].  This utility has such a simple
purpose that it doesn't need to be all that complicated.
