Ignore the other message about mcopy. This is restrictive since it *assumes* that the file is on a floppy disk (or other FAT volume). -- Jens B.

Hi.
Debian does have dos2unix in some package. You would have to search
Contents file on ftp site to find which one. Meanwhile I can show
you the way I do this: tr -d '\015' < dosfile >unixfile

A suggestion, download a copy of the .../stable/Contents-i386 file from your favorite Debian mirror. It lists every file and its package. Then just grep it for your file in question, I use it all the time. #grep dos2unix Contents-i386 usr/bin/dos2unix utils/sysutils usr/man/man1/dos2unix.1 utils/sysutils Good luck, Brian -- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

MSDOS files...what to do...
I have copied some MSDOS text files (documents, java source files) to my Linux box. So, of course, they all have ^M at the end of each line.
