>Description:

The manpage for doscmd is a copy of the BSDI manpages. It contains a
reference to a DOS/UNIX file conversion utility called 'bsd2dos'. bsd2dos
is not a part of FreeBSD and it's not a part of the port collection, either.
The reference to doscmd should be replaced by a reference to an existing
conversion tools like recode.

A patch to that effect has been included.

    The `fconv' port (which I wrote and maintain) has exact
 workalikes for BSD/OS's bsd2dos and dos2bsd, and implements
 bsd2mac and mac2bsd as well.

 Hi,
 I know this PR is closed, but it doesn't seem a good idea to reference
 a port on the manpage since it isn't installed by default, and some of
 us don't install the ports tree. Isn't the BSDI bsd2dos(1) version
 available now for commiters ??
 
 cheers,
 
     Pedro.
 
 ps. Yeah ..I know i
