Text Conversion

Samba doesn't do this for you.
There is software out there that gives you drag and drop conversion from
windows to linux/unix text formatting, and some of it is free.
But, it is so easy to do, cat file | sed 's/\x0d$//', why bother?
To go back, cat file | sed 's/^.*$/&\x0D/'
This takes a newer version of sed.
