Are you going to move it to a Windows box?  If so, simply use the
text mode transfer of whatever program you are using to move it,
and the conversion will be done for you.

If you must have it in CRLF format on your Unix box, then you can
use SCO's "xtod" utility:

    xtod <oldfilename >newfilename
