Okay, one of our programmers wants to start porting over a unix app he 
wrote to *shudder* windows.  In order to do this, he's mounted his 
home directory to his windows box via samba, now he's trying to copy 
over the sourcecode, but he's having that infamous "UNIX-to-DOS text 
file format" issue (a.k.a LF vs CRLF).  He's trying to write a batch 
file using gvim to convert all these files...and everything works if 
you type-out everything at the cmd.exe prompt, but the batch file 
won't batch...here's what he's got

gvim -c "set ff=dos" -c "saveas source.i" -c x -<H:\username\src\source.i
gvim -c "set ff=dos" -c "saveas source.h" -c x -<H:\username\src\source.h
gvim -c "set ff=dos" -c "saveas source.c" -c x -<H:\username\src\source.c

any suggestions?
