Or, you could get Add/Strip 2.9, a shareware utility that processes text
files in a number of ways, including adding or stripping CRs and LFs,
changes ellipses, em-dashes, user-specified strings, forcing lines to
a certain length, etc. etc.  I use it nearly every day for downloads
and uploads to/from Macs, DOS machines, and UNIX boxes. It's available
via anonymous ftp at one of the larger sites (sorry, I don't remember
which... try sumex first), or if you can't find it anywhere, drop a line
and I'll mail it.  I LOVE IT!
