Geez folks, how about making a "simple" script like:
#!/bin/sh
tr "\015\012" "\012\015" $1 $$converted
rm $1
mv $$converted $1
And put it somewhere nice (/usr/local/bin) and give it a nice name. It will
convert to & from mac endings (<cr>, \015) to Unix/Linux/HP-UX endings (<lf>,
\012).
If your favorite editor doesn't see the line endings, convert it, and then
use it, then convert it back. This isn't rocket science. Anyway, HTML
could care less about line endings anyway. Be thankful you don't have
Windoze, they use TWO characters as line endings.
Further rant deleted by author. It has been said all before. No use
wasting bandwidth. (*SIGH*)
