This just came up in another conversation, so it's fresh in my
mind.  There's a very handy utility called "flip" that will convert
between MS-DOS newlines and The Right newlines (Unix, BeOS, etc.).  :)
Of course there are probably 20 other ways to do it using perl, dd,
tr, awk, sed, or twelve other Unix tools, but I always forget the
arguments for the different tools.

If you're running Debian, just "apt-get install flip" and run as 
"flip -u file" or "flip -m file" to convert to Unix or MS-DOS formats,
respectively.
