:)  Thats what this was:

$(locate dos2unix | head -1) file1 > file2

or

$ sed 's/\015//g' file1 > file2


But I would like to change it a lil:

$ [ -z $(locate dos2unix | head -1) ] && sed 's/\015//g' file1 > file2 || 
dos2unix file1 > file2

This should be able to tell whether or not dos2unix is even there. Lets 
just hope there isn't a man page only installed without the binary.

:)
