when fishing around looking for "man you-don't-exactly-know-what" try 
apropos.
it's a tool to help you locate programs on your system whose names you 
don't know.
for example try "apropos dos" or "apropos translate" or "apropos crlf" 
on the command line.

apropos dos (on my system) spits out 25+ suggestions, including;
tofrodos (1) [todos] - Converts text files between DOS and Unix formats.
unix2dos (1)         - Converts text files between DOS and Unix formats.
