You mean there are people who *don't* use CrLfFileStream?  :)  Honestly,
we should probably pick.  The people who use it and the people who don't
each annoy each other heavily -- the CrLfFileStream guys send out text
files that have non-Squeak line endings, and the StandardFileStream guys
write code that saves binary files in text mode all the time.

Anyway, you can use the qscat utility that comes with the Unix source to
convert files from Unix -> Squeak.  It's the inverse of sqcat, a nice
utility to have around.


You could also read the file in text mode and write it in binary.
