I'm assuming you mean LF (linefeed)?  Use the 'fromdos' to remove them
and the 'todos' command to put them back in.  I currently have
Slackware 8.0 on this machine and these utilities came with it's
standard 'bin' package.

I should tell you that the fromdos and tdos programs read standard
input and write to standard output so don't forget the redirection
symbols (example: fromdos <autoexec.bat >autoexec.txt

HTH.

Correction; was Re: rEMOVING fl FROM wINDOWS OR dos BASED ascii TEXT FILES.

[Edward L. Barnes]

Hi list, I don't often reply to my own messages to a list or otherwise
however in this case I must do so to correct an oversight on my part,
folks it's been a long day already in spite of the fact that it's only a
bit after 10 a.m., so here's the correction, of course, I meant dos2unix
and not unix2dos as I said in my previous message which is below. Sorry
for any inconvenience my error might have caused and best regards to all.

Hey Mark,
There is the command dos2unix which will basically strip out the 
carriage returns.  There is also the opposite command unix2dos that'll 
put them in.  They are on the rh7.3 disks, but I'm not sure which one.

No specifically he neesdos2unix since he is trying to get rid of the DOS 
garbage.

Sorry Ed it isn't a good morning for me either.  I have answered two
