- MS-DOS text files use a CRLF combination. The usual methods of
- converting between UNIX LF's and ProDOS CR's won't work in this case
- (you'll just get double-spaced text). There are a couple of utilities
- available which change CRLF's and CR's. I saw one small utility called
- "The Stripper" which might do that sort of stuff.
