+---------------
| Does anyone now of a program to convert Mac text files to DOS
| text files?  I thought I could just change the carriage return
| character to LF and CR cahracters but DOS programs can't seem to
| see the CR character in Mac files.  
+---------------

Make sure you write the bytes out in the order <CR><LF>; the opposite order
WILL NOT BE RECOGNIZED by Mis-DOS.
