dos2unix is in the sysutils package. A suggestion, download a copy of the .../stable/Contents-i386 file from your favorite Debian mirror. It lists every file and its package. Then just grep it for your file in question, I use it all the time. #grep dos2unix Contents-i386 usr/bin/dos2unix utils/sysutils usr/man/man1/dos2unix.1 utils/sysutils Good luck, Brian -- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
