I think you're using a chainsaw where a weed-whacker would be more
appropriate. Slackware Linux comes with a pair of little C programs,
fromdos and todos, which do this, so that's the chainsaw I use. :) But
it can also be done with a simple "tr" weed-whacker command:
    tr -d '\015\032' < dosfile > unixfile
