I use two small perl scripts (enclosed); they work fine and don't require
porting.

dos2unix:

   #!/usr/bin/perl -pi
   #
   # Convert DOS text file to Unix file format.  Conversion is done in-place.
   #
   # Usage: dos2unix dosfile ...

   print STDERR "Converting \"$ARGV\" ...\n" if (eof || ($. == 0));
   s/\015$//;                   # strip ^M from end of line.
   s/\032$//;                   # strip ^Z if we see it (which'll be at EOF).

unix2dos:

   #!/usr/bin/perl -pi
   #
   # Convert Unix text file to DOS file format.  Conversion is done in-place.
   #
   # Usage: unix2dos unixfile ...

   print STDERR "Converting \"$ARGV\" ...\n" if (eof || ($. == 0));
   s/$/\015/;                   # tack on ^M
   s/\n/\n\032/ if (eof);       # DOS ^Z at end of file.
