As Eli has pointed out, by far the best solution is to keep all files
in Unix format.

However, files with CRLF can still creep in and cause grief so it is
useful to have a way to correct these.  DJGPP has a utility to do just
what you want:

	dtou *.h *.c

In Linux you may have a similar utlity installed, otherwise use `col'
in a script.
