#       This script fixes problem caused by UNIX text files impported to the
#       Mac in binary mode, so lines are terminated with LF instead of CR.
#       Drop your files on the following droplet:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5

$/ = "\012";
$^I = ".orig";

@temp = @ARGV;

while (<>) {
    s/\012/\015/g;
    print;
}

foreach (@temp) {
    unlink $_.".orig";
