Your Linux distribution may have a copy of dos2unix.  You can use that 
to remove the extra DOS line end characters.  Another program, unix2dos, 
will put them back.  If your Linux distribution doesn't have them 
(Mandrake doesn't), use google to find a copy - there are several 
versions, some even have man pages.
