If you do this (move text files from UNIX to MS-DOS) often, I suggest
you take a look at Rahul Dhesi's flip program.  It converts text files
between the two formats.  It's pretty smart: it avoids touching binary
files and lonely CR's used to create overstriking etc. You can probably
find it in many archive sites.
