Also, you can use "od -c" to verify the C-style character name tr will
recognize.
od -c inffile | less
Tried this; less showed nothing until the end of the file.
Without piping output to less the last character in the file was \r.
Running 'cat <infile> | tr "\r" "\n" > <outfile> left outfile with the same
^M as infile. Strange M$ stuff I guess,
If the files are essentially single lines and I use sed with the /g option
it should replace all \r with \n, but it doesn't.
Whew! Thought I had it but that's not the case.
Thanks, Paul,
Rich
