This command will extract files from a tar file, change CRLF to just CR, and convert to EBCDIC:
pax -ofrom=iso8859-1,to=ibm-1047 -rqkf tarfile All files in the tar file are assumed to be text files. The 'q' in "-rqkf" is what causes the CRLF-to-CR conversion. The 'k' prevents overwriting existing files. See "man pax" for details.
