    MS-DOS text files use a CRLF combination.  The usual methods of
converting between UNIX LF's and ProDOS CR's won't work in this case
(you'll just get double-spaced text).  There are a couple of utilities
available which change CRLF's and CR's.  I saw one small utility called
"The Stripper" which might do that sort of stuff.
