Hi Bob/John:
I have a dtox script I use on UNIX that should run on LINUX.
Here is script:
#! /bin/sh
#
# convert a DOS ASCII file to a UNIX ASCII file by removing trailing ^M
at the
# end of each line and ^Z at the end of the file
sed -e 's/^M$//' -e '/^^Z/d' -e '/^A^?$/d'
That should give you something to start with. Usage:
dtox <dosfile >unixfile
Regards, Hugh
