What you want to do is translate the DOS line-ending, 0x0d 0x0a, into
a UNIX line-ending, 0x0a.  In terms of 'tr' characters, this is
translating '\r\n' into '\n'.

cat <filename> | tr -d '\r'

Try

# 'hd <filename'
# 'cat <filename> | tr -d '\r' | hd'

to see the difference.

Look at 'man ascii' and 'man tr'
