+HISTORY
+
+        This is an update of Benjamin Lin's implementations of dos2unix and
+        unix2dos.  Benjamin Lin's implementations of dos2unix and unix2dos are
+        part of several Linux distributions such as RedHat, Fedora, Suse and
+        others.  This update includes all RedHat patches and fixes several
+        other problems.  Internationalization has been added and ports to DOS,
+        Windows, Cygwin and OS/2 Warp have been made. 
+
+        These implementations of dos2unix and unix2dos have been modelled after
+        dos2unix/unix2dos under SunOS/Solaris.  They have similar conversion
+        modes, namely ascii, 7bit and iso.  The first versions were made by
+        John Birchfield in 1989, and in 1995 rewritten from scratch by Benjamin
+        Lin. Mac to Unix conversion was added by Bernd Johannes Wuebben in
+        1998, Unix to Mac conversion by Erwin Waterlander in 2010.
+
+        Features
+
+        * Native language support: Dutch, English, Esperanto, German, Spanish.
+        * Automatically skips binary and non-regular files
+        * In-place, paired, or stdio mode conversion.
+        * Keep original file dates option.
+        * 7-bit and iso conversion modes like SunOS dos2unix.
+        * Conversion of Windows UTF-16 files to Unix UTF-8.
