Just some amateur suggestions.
1. Have you run checkpc -f ?
2. I haven't tried your eval method. I just:
cat | sed -e 's/$/^M/g'
3. Are you sure you sed command is working? Do you really have a control
character or just two characters in the replacement string? What does the g option do
for you?
Have you tried \r instead of ^M ?
4. You might change your filter to:
cat > /tmp/OutFile
to see if the filter is executing.
