Unix people, stick this in your .cshrc:
---Cut Here---
alias nl2cr     "cat \!^ | tr '\012' '\015' > \!^.X ; rm -f \!^ ; mv \!^.X \!^"
alias cr2nl     "cat \!^ | tr '\015' '\012' > \!^.X ; rm -f \!^ ; mv \!^.X \!^"

#Before you download a Unix file to your Apple, type "nl2cr <file>" and after
#you upload an Apple file to the Unix system type "cr2nl <file>".  Takes care
#of the incompatibilities between the Apple and Unix line delimiters.

This was posted to this newsgroup some time ago, and I had waited to re-post
it, since I thought surely someone else would have by now.  (or even Lazlo
might have)  

But, since it didn't show up on it's own...

btw.. I'm sure there is a similarly simple way to do the same thing under 
VAX/VMS, I just don't know the OS well enough to say what it is.
