I believe you can use 'tr' or 'sed' to do the job.
e.g.)
Mac <-> UNIX:
tr '\r' '\n' <mac-text >unix-text
tr '\n' '\r' <unix-text >mac-text
DOS <-> UNIX:
tr -d '\r' <dos-text >unix-text
sed 's/$/^M/' <unix-text >dos-text ; # ^M being type as ^V^M
If these are too long to type each time, you can make them
either shell scripts or aliases.
