As a matter of expediency, I always pass files through '| tr -d '\r'
|' when reading them. This is harmless on Linux and you don't have to
worry whether or not your target system has 'd2u' installed since I
believe that 'tr' is part of all base installations. It also means you
don't have to worry about whether or not a particular program handles
'\r' automagically.

I find that it is also a good idea to save all script files as UTF-8
so that they can handle Windows filenames with emojis and such in them
when explicitly named in the script.
