Unix text files are stored with line-feeds but no carriage-returns. I have a very simple program which adds carriage returns which I will be glad to send you if you want. Its output can be directed right to /dev/mt0, or you can pipe it through dd if you want to select the tape block size. Going the other way, carriage returns can be deleted with the tr program.
