On the same general subject, there are several good programs that do this
sort of work:

MacSink  This is another da that does damn near anything you can think of to
a text file, even edit it -- a feature missing in most of the other
applications that do conversion -- and sort it.

Apple File Exchange  Not quite the best bet, does some nice conversion from
MessyDos and prodos, that kind of thing, but has never heard of unix...
no option for cr to lf or lf to cr

there are also a number of da and apps that do things like split files up
into smaller files (split) join files together into one large file (join)
and pack and unpack that do just that, though with the advent of packit
and stuffit, these last two are out of date.

All of these are available on systems such as CI$ and GEnie and on BBSes.
