U don't have d2u on all platforms, but U probably _do_ have awk or

problem when I encountered it, which is still klugy, but works on
every POSIX or Cygwin platform:
gawk '//' fileFromTextMount > fileWithLFOnlyOnBinMount
...or:
$ cat <file> | tr -d '\r'
Save a cat:
$ tr -d '\r' < <file>
d'oh, right :-)
or, if you might have other "\r"s in the file,
$ sed -e 's/\r$//' <file>
Actually, just running something through sed seems to do it for me on a
bin mount (though maybe this is just the same as running something
through gawk).
I believe this works because *some* (not all IIRC) versions of sed read
in text mode by default. The point of my original post, however, was
that I am guessing that 'tr' is faster than sed/awk.
