   Env: 
        Either 320 or 360 at 3.2.5
   Desc:
        Customer was looking for a conversion routine that would 
        strip carriage returns from dos files for use on AIX.
   Action:
        Determined that the following scrips would provide the 
        needed function. 
        Dos to Unix(AIX):
                sed 's/\^M//'  dosfile  >  aixfile

        For use in the opposite direction (adding the cr),
        Unix(AIX) to Dos:
                sed 's/$/\^M/' aixfile  >  dosfile  

        In both cases above it requires that a control character
        be placed in the string.  To do this in vi use cntrl-V followed
        by cntrl-M to insert the cntrl-M.
        Gave this to the customer. 
   Next Action:
        Closing call. 
   Test Case:
        na
