A colleague of mine needs to use TEXT files on Macs and IBM-pcs.  He has
Macintosh PC-Exchange, but to my shock PC-Exchange does not provide
a mechanism for converting IBMs line endings (CR-LF) to Macintosh
line endings (just CR, right?).  

I know that Apple-File exchange will make the conversion, but this is
very inconvenient and not something that we want to deal with several
times a day.  What I'd really like is . . . a pair of drag-drop
file converters that convert mac text files to ibm text files and
verse-visa.  Anyone know of such a beast?

Thanks,

--Walter
