Or better yet, put the following in your .login or .cshrc:
alias lf2cr "cat \!^ | tr '\012' '\015' > \!^.X ; rm -f \!^; mv \!^.X \!^"
alias cr2lf "cat \!^ | tr '\015' '\012' > \!^.X ; rm -f \!^; mv \!^.X \!^"
use as follows:
lf2cr foo.file
cr2lf bar.file
Or, if you're really ambitious, you could revise these so that lf2cr and
cr2lf work for more than one file at a time.
