I have written a little utility that will convert DOS formatted text files
to UNIX
format and also the opposite.  If you are interested I could email a copy to
you.  This utility will leave the original intact and creat a new file with
the same
name but with either a 'D' or a 'U' appended to it ('D' for DOS 'U' for
UNIX).
The new file will be saved to the same directory as the original.
There is no help file but the interface is very simple.  I have been using
this
for some time now and have never experienced a problem. Send me an email
if you are interested.  You would be free to share this with anyone who has
a
need for it.
