Thanks, Paul. I didn't know if tr would recognize ^M as \r so I used
cat <infile> | tr "^M" "\n" and that changed it to the Mac format,
rather than the UNIX format, for some reason
My original recipe above merely deletes carriage returns; it leaves newlines
intact.
Also, you can use "od -c" to verify the C-style character name tr will
recognize.
od -c inffile | less
If you want, you can compare that output with that of "od -a" which
will show "nl" for "\n" and cr for "\r".
