Re: [Nano-devel] DOS/Mac text conversion

[Dwayne Rightler]

I don't know what shell you use, but for bash you could always do
something like:

alias nano-dos='nano -D'

That would solve your problem as long as you could remember to use the
nano-dos command instead of nano when editing win32 text files.
