I've downloaded some text files from a UN*X machine via arc and xmodem.  I've
got a pseudo-sed script for edlin I want to run on them (thanks Clayton,
thats a real useful tip you posted a few months back) but it turns out that
the lines end in line feed.  Edlin rides the porcelan bus unless it
sees a CR LF combination.  So, is there an easy way in DOS or MKS vi
to automatically do this conversion?

I see a few solutions, all of which stink up the place.

1)  In UN*X run the files through sed before archiving.
2)  In UN*X modify the source to my archiver.
3)  Write a C program on the pc.  (this is my favorite unless it's already
    been done).
4)  Give up on automation and make the changes by hand.  This would take hours.
5)  Make the changes on UNIX with sed, archive, and download.

						Thanks
