Quick question ... CRLF->LF ...

[Stephen L Arnold]

On 5 Nov 99, The Hermit Hacker <scrappy at hub.org> had questions 
about Quick question ... CRLF->LF ...:

The blurb is(was) in Hints.txt:

I grabbed a copy a while back, but it didn't seem to do anything.  
I asked for the source so I could fool around with it, but never 
got a reply.  If you just have a few files, any good text editor 
should do the trick (eg, PFE, SlickEdit, emacs, etc).  
Alternatively, you could use Awk, sed, perl, etc to process large 
numbers of files.

I've thought about doing my own version of the above win32 app, but 
I'm still teaching myself Ada, OOP, etc.

Hope this helps, Steve
