It's widely available on the net.

What's the point? The sharp bit on the end.

It's easy enough to write a script for it, too...

Alternatively some Unices (eg Solaris) have "dos2unix" or "unix2dos".  My
Mandrake 7.1 doesn't have it installed but that doesn't mean you can't get
it for Linux.

try:

tr -d '\015' < FILENAME.DOS > FILENAME.LINUX

where FILENAME.DOS is the DOS text file you want converted & FILENAME.LINUX
is the file you want the output written to.

just trims the DOS carriage returns, but useful to have on hand...

substitute $1 for FILENAME.DOS and $2 for FILENAME.LINUX and make it an
executable file that accepts parameters.

awk '{printf("%s\r\n",$0)}' in >out

It works, and awk is available everywhere.  Going the other way is even
simpler:

cat in | tr -d "\r" >out

Who needs separate monolithic programs for every little thing when you can
recombine the existing tools to do what you want?  That's the beauty of UN*X
and systems like it (perl and emacs notwithstanding :-) ).

    $ perl -pe 's/$/\r/' -i.org unix.file

Where 'unix.file' is the input file (could be *). This will leave the
original file with a '.org' extension. Just replace the above '-i.org'
with '-i' if you don't want the backups.
