Hi all.

I realise of course that fromdos, dos2unix etc are great, but if they're
not present, what's wrong with tr?
In case anyone hasn't heard of tr, well it's just great, for all sorts of
things, mostly in scripts, but check out the man page, you can do all
sorts of stuff, like change the case of characters, remove large amounts
of blank space, whatever.  It's probably one of my favourite tools for
manipulating text files.
