Just for giggles, here's a handy set of convertions for people who deal with
this stuff regularly:

dos->unix: tr -d '\015'
dos->mac: tr -d '\012'
unix->dos: tr '\012' '\015\012'
unix->mac: tr '\012' '\015'
mac->unix: tr '\015' '\012'
mac->dos: tr '\015' '\015\012'

(Yes, I'm being obtuse and ignoring your point entirely. *grin*)
