I don't say that is wrong. But why do people need a utility to do
that job (insert/remove 0x0D)? Most of the programs I've seen to do that
job are scripts which take a file from stdin, insert/remove 0x0D (CR I
mean) and put the result on the stdout. Or they are C programs which do
the same thing. Now, the scripts can be pretty slow. Anyway, why use
them? zip/unzip have a feature that does that to text files. So all you
have to do is to zip the file and unzip it in a result file. All can be
done using just a pipe. And it seems to me that it's a lot faster than a
script - not so sure about the C programs, but it's for sure a lot faster
than using getchar() and putchar().
