There used to be a command called 'fromdos' on Slackware machines, but
that's merely a wrapper around tr(1).

pipe the file through tr -d '\r', it'll strip carriage return characters and
leave the linefeed.  Although that's not technically correct, you may want
something like sed 's/\r\n/\n/' but last time I checked, sed doesn't support
newline characters in regexs.
