I've used fileinput before and could never get the command line 
switch to modify files in place to work- it looked like it was just 
creating temp files even if this did work which is what prompted me 
to just start from scratch.

Gadzooks, using read() works fine while both xreadlines() and 
readlines() fail at about the same point! I'm not quite sure why 
that's the case but I appreciate the suggestion. Of course it turned 
out that some of the files had unix endings instead of windoze 
endings so I had to change things a bit:

def strip(f):
	global fcount
	infh = open(f, 'rb').read()
	os.rename(f, f +'~')
	outfh = open(f, 'wb')
	if infh.find('\r\n') != -1:
		outfh.write(infh.replace('\n',''))
	elif infh.find('\n') != -1:
		outfh.write(infh.replace('\n','\r'))
	else: pass
	outfh.close()
	fcount = fcount + 1
	return

This works well and converted 294 files in 77 seconds on my aging 
8100->G3. As an aside, the main reason that I have this recurring 
need to change endings is that Stuffit 5.5's line conversion facility 
is broken and has to be disabled or you wind up with all kinds of 
strange messes. Now all I have to do is decide how to get rid of the 
original 294 files that have become *.py~ relics.
