This article was first written in February 2005 for the BeezNest technical
website (http://glasnost.beeznest.org/articles/203).
The convert carriage returns between UNIX- and DOS-kind of CR, use the tools dos2unix and unix2dos from the sysutils package. Usage is really simple:
$ dos2unix filename
or
$ unix2dos filename
where filename is the name of the file to convert. To convert a hierarchy of files starting from current directory:
$ find . -type f -exec dos2unix {} ;
