A binary file usually starts out with a hex 1Ah character in the DOS world
at least. Other clues will be many characters with values in the range of
90H-FFH inclusive. Unix has a file utility whose source code is available
for examination and it's well worth the abundance of file format

John,
Its a linux project (There are libs, executables, scripts, txt, sources and
objects.) about 90MB.
I did checkout using a svn program under Win32 and when I took a look to
sources and scripts on linux, all those files have CR/LF.

That depends on what his "binary" files are, and on how important speed is.
As the files he wants to convert are all "DOS" fi

Use it to detect DOS files. From the man page:
If the lines of a file are terminated by CR, CRLF, or NEL, instead of
the Unix-standard LF, this will be reported.
Or parse file's
Fabian,
Thanks for the info. I like use scripting but I prioritize the safe way.
I think that find / flip is safe, clear, easy, dificult to make a mistake
(few arg)
and save time.
Thanks,

Instead of installing an extra application you could cat your files
through sed.

No extra filter is needed.

Write script using find to recurse, file to detect binaries, and dos2unix
to convert text files.
