Whoops! forgot about those (I actually took time to look at my bin directory
a while ago... its just that I forgot about it :). Well, it only took about
60 seconds to write my program (Hmmmm.... maybe I could make it so the
timestamp is preserved. Also, I could make it so it only needs one arg (the
filename) and could detect whether or not it is a DOS or Unix file).
