Re: [TCLUG:10735] FromDOS?

There is a dos2unix package and a unix2dos. Look here for the RPM:
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/DByName.html

Or else you can do it with a perl one-liner: (preferred method)
/usr/bin/perl -pi -e 's/\cM$//' <filename>

or

/usr/bin/perl -pi.bak -e 's/\cM$//' <filename>
to create a backup copy. A smart thing to do because you don't always
know what will happen.
