When I downloaded 'dos2unix' a few months ago, I found it was an a.out 
binary (got rid of all a.out support over a year ago, so I couldn't
run it); source code was nowhere in sight. Which is why I wrote a Tcl
script to do the job, sent it in to the Linux Gazette, got several
interesting counter-proposals, and decided to put them all together on 
the Web for posterity.
