We distribute just such a program.  It handles both PC formats, but the
the Amiga one.  Subdirectories are handled, and it can convert between the
PC and Unix line termination conventions on the fly.  Versions are
available for the the 3/80 and 4/60.  There is a nominal license fee per
node.  For more information, you can write to:
