But, since it's what Patrick wants:
sed -b -e 's/\r$//g' < infile > outfile
ought to do the trick:
/artimi/chips $ od -c foo
0000000 l \r i n e 1 \r \n l i n e s 2
0000020 \r \r \n l i n e s 3 \r \n
0000034
@_______. .
( /"\

'" '"'---'
/artimi/chips $ sed < foo -b -e 's/\r$//g' | od -c
0000000 l \r i n e 1 \n l i n e s 2 \r
0000020 \n l i n e s 3 \n
0000031

( /"\

/artimi/chips $
