Summary: stripping carriage returns and linefeeds from a text file

Murphy,
   I can easily understand your problem; I, also, can get the
carriage returns and linefeeds out of text files downloaded from
IBM/Clone BBS, Compu$erve, The SOURCE, GEnie, etc.; the other
dday I downloaded a vitips text file and a vi extended command
reference text file; smack dab in the middle of the text were
these ### and it seemed more trouble than it was worth to fool
around taking all those characters out of the middle of the
file.
    What do others do with their text files?  Is it possible
to get all the control characters out of text file?  I can use
CHFORM on side 2 of my AEPRO disk to take out the c/r and l/f's
but when the ## are in the middle of the file as well, that
poses a problem I haven't been able to solve yet.
 yet.    Is anyone using WordPerfect?  Does the same thing happen?
