As far as I know, the code in HTDOS does the conversion of slashes
without the use of a helper app. Is there a particular usage where the
conversion fails?

The DOS version of the VIM editor works quite well with lynx.  It can
edit with DOS or UNIX EOL's, and can convert easily from one form to the
other.  It's only problem is that it is a vi clone, with the usual steep
learning curve for those not familiar with vi.
