Yow!  Have I been ARCHIVED yet?

Two small shellscripts can also do the job for you in a slightly more
friendly and informative manner:

#! /bin/sh
# nl2cr -- convert UNIX newlines to Apple II CRs
for i in $*
do
echo -n $i': '
tr '\012' '\015' < $i > $i.X
mv -f $i.X $i
echo 'done'
done

#! /bin/sh
# cr2nl -- convert Apple II CRs to UNIX newlines
for i in $*
do
echo -n $i': '
tr '\015' '\012' < $i > $i.X
mv -f $i.X $i
echo 'done'
done

I realize that BinSCII makes all this hoo-hah obsolete, but what the heck.  I
still use 'em to download textfiles and such.

                                                                         Lazlo
