So I installed "dos2unix".

> dos2unix -ic *.txt

Though I couldn't find that `i' option. And it complained about an 
"0x1A" (control-Z) character at the end of that old DOS file!

Yes, it said that old file was "data"

The simplest solution seems to me using a modern Linux test-file for 
practice with regex!
