you might be looking for this (taken from sed1line.txt):

 # IN UNIX ENVIRONMENT: convert Unix newlines (LF) to DOS format.
 sed "s/$/`echo -e \\\r`/"            # command line under ksh
 sed 's/$'"/`echo \\\r`/"             # command line under bash
 sed "s/$/`echo \\\r`/"               # command line under zsh
 sed 's/$/\r/'                        # gsed 3.02.80 or higher

i wonder:  why choose sed?
is this just a one-time job?
does it have to be automated?
does it have to be really fast?

for example, converting a single file i'd use the editor vim:

    $ vim file
    :%j
    :x

these commands could be automated/scripted, of course.
but there are many tools out there which can do this.
