Ok, I'm seriously working on proper *nix versions of these now
But I have a few questions... (amongst my code)
Here is a puesdo code/flow diagram

with each input file
begin
	open input file for reading 
 	(what file open mode should it be in *nix,)
	(as binary doesn't really exist?)
	
	open temporary file for output (again, mode question)

	with each line
	begin
		read input
		convert all lines as needed
		(what do we do about loose CR's or LF's that are 'out' of 
		(place for the expected file?)
		write output
	end

	close both files

	get permissions and file time from old file
	set permissions and file time on new file
	(what about the 'owner' of the file?)

	erase old file
	rename new file to old file name
end
