[BUGS] search/replace - cr/lf (with joe)

[harrywwc]

Hi JLM,

not sure if this can be done with Joe...

/me shudders at the thought of 'WordStar'...

anyway, another method if you are uncomfortable with tr(1) is 
dos2unix(1) to convert cr/lf to lf and unix2dos(1) to do the reverse.

I think they're part of the 'mstools' package.

take care,
