Can you specify DOS or UNIX format in Writeseq command?

We have a server routine that writes out our metedata to sequential files on our server. We can then import them using Manager. This worked fine on Unix, however, since we changed to Linux, the import fails, and we now have to edit these files first, resave them in DOS format, and then we can import them.

I was wondering if there is some way to specify writing to dos format in the Openseq/Writeseq commands?

We can write a shell script to convert these files, but we were hoping to avoid this......

You can fix this when you FTP to Windows from Linux. You can also use UNIX2DOS and DOS2UNIX commands.
