(This should be included in some sort of FAQ monthly posting)

To convert Control-M's to Control-J's (Apple, and Unix formats, respectively),
under Unix, execute the following command from your shell prompt:

tr '\015' '\012' <Apple_File_Name >New_Unix_File_Name

An explanation:  tr is a common abbreviation for "translate", and is the name
of the binary file which will do the conversion for you.  The two numbers,
with a slash preceding them, surrounded by single brackets, are the OCTAL
codes for Control-M and Control-J, respectively.  You can put whatever
characters in there if you wish (eg: tr 'A' 'B' <foo >bar, will replace all
occurences of 'A' with 'B').

I honestly hope that helps..
