Some systems have dos2unix.  But it still fails to supply final
linefeeds, whose lack
causes some grief with some Unix programs (particularly nasty
treatment of .h files
in some versions of gcc).

Anyway...

Just another sleepless night here.  I was doing okay until the local
idiots started
setting off cherry-bombs (loud fireworks) and such at midnight of the new year.
It will probably be some hours before this ancient body get sleepy again.  This
interferes greatly in what little life I've been able to get lately.  Sigh.
