Should I run the command `tr \\r \\n <macfilename> <unixfilename>'

DEFINITELY run this command only on text files. It will render
binary files unusable in most cases and never be good for them.
Executables are sure to be unusable, and files like video, sounds,
and images will have errors in them that may wreck them or may just
introduce bits of distortion.
Thanks a lot! BTW, is the command `tr \\r \\n *' or `tr \r \n *'?
