-: Exactly!  Since these programs read stdin and write stdout, they cannot
-: be used to convert many files in one go

At one point I foolishly aliased `dos2unix' to `dtou' and `unix2dos' to
`utod' just so my DJGPP-box would feel more unixy.  But as Eli pointed
out, the programs *are* rather different, and I soon mangled enough files
to convince me to remove the aliases.
