Nope - that works ok.  (BTW - you were fast on the reply!)

I did try:
	E:\>dos2unix -n Zot.txt Foo.txt
	dos2unix: converting file Zot.txt to file Foo.txt in Unix format...
	E:\>ls
	 Foo.txt    Zot.txt

I thought using -n might suffice as a quick workaround for Fergus so I tried:

	E:\>dos2unix -n Zot.txt Zot.txt
	dos2unix: converting file Zot.txt to file Zot.txt in Unix format...
	E:\>ls
	 Foo.txt  ZOT.TXT

Nuts!  So the problem manifests if the input and output files are the same whether using -n or not.  (Sorry Fergus - no workaround.)

As an aside, I experimented with "ed" to change a file and re-write it presuming it might behave as dos2nix - nope - it preserved mixed case ok.
