dos to unix CR/LF conversion?

[Max Blanco]

Kevin/All,

you were right.  My mac/ie5 converted linefeeds to ^m, instead of \r.
I can't see straight anymore between '\n', '\r', "^M", "^L", C, perl, tr, 
unix, dos, mac, dog, cat.  Arrgh.  

If any of you desire to get my hack/fix of the dos2unix source code, email
me offlist.  If any of you would like to post a "tr" shell script that I
can put into my /usr/local/bin directory, I'd be more than willing to copy
it.

cheers,
max.
