Here's a sed script that I've used for years on my old SCO Unix box. I'm
not actually positive it works on Linux because I haven't tried it, but sed

It adds ^M's if they're missing and deletes them if found. (i.e. one
script that will do both conversions)
sed -e '
s-^M--g
t
s+

tr -d '\r' < dosfile > unixfile
removes all ^Ms, even if they are not at the end of the line
where MSDOS seems to put them. tr(1) is small and fast.
perl -p -i.bak -e 's/\r$//;' dosfile
renames the dosfile dosfile.bak and writes the corrected
output in dosfile. The $ "anchors" the search
