fixcrlf doesn't seem to fix crlf

I installed Fixcrlf.exe from the Samba site.  I tried it out on my NT 4.0
station, but it doesn't seem to accomplish anything.  Specifically:

	- I bring up a file in Notepad - the text is one long line with black
	  squares at the end of records, indicating that there are LF's but
	  not CRLF's.

	- I drag the file icon from Explorer on to the FixCRLF icon and am
	  rewarded with an "About FixCRLF" pop-up, telling me it's version
	  0.1 and offering apologies for lack of long filename support.  The
	  name of my file is crlf.txt, so I assume this is just a generic
	  apology, not an error message.

	- I hit the "Close" button.

	- I bring up the file in Notepad - the text is one long line with
	  black squares at the end of records ...

Am I doing something wrong?  Or does FixCRLF just not work on NT 4.0?  If so,
is there a 4.0 solution?

While I'm at it, I was thinking a CRLF detector would be nice, too - you
could drag a file to it (or it to a file) and it would blink red for CRLF,
green for LF, yellow for a mixture and blue for binary (neither).  Just a
wish - I'm too new to MS OS to do anything about it.
