in doscmd the program is actually called bsd2dos(1) and it doesn't exist.
IMHO dos2unix and unix2dos should be part of the base system. I know it's
trivial to make a perl command line that does exactly that, but these binaries
only take a couple of bytes and are more obviuos to the regular newbie than
perl.

It's such a simple program...
