For those interested in two very nice utilities for doing cr/lf
conversion, 
check out the following free solutions:

[Text-To-Mac 1.32, size=54k]
TextToMac is a utility program for Macintosh computers. It converts the
end-of-line code of text files between Macintosh, MS-DOS PC, and UNIX
formats. 

Can convert folders and subfolders; allows you to set the creator; has
option to overwrite the original or to create a new file with a
specified extension.

[Paradigma 2.1, size=46k]
Paradigma lets you specify [up to 256 literal, non-grep] conversion
rules, such as "abc -> xyz", and so will do the same as a word
processor's "Find/replace" command, only much faster and several
conversions at once.

You can create a stand-alone "Droplet" with a given set of rules in it.  
e.g. a dos/unix->mac joblet would contain two rules:

	\r\10 -> \r
	\10   -> \r

(This would be an 11k Droplet.)
