Subject: dos2unix shell script
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Appended is a script I use to convert CRLF to CR on
selected files.  To use it, the files to be converted
must be on a

<<< _binary_ mount point >>>

_not_ a text mount point.

I use it this way:

bash$ find . -type f -name '[Mm]akefile*' | xargs dos2unix

which will convert makefiles residing on a binary mount
point, a common source of complaint on this list.

Cheers!
