You don't need an external program to convert CrLf's to either an
Ascii-13 carriage return or Ascii-10 line feed. Although these
characters can't be put on the CMline to do a manual search-and-
replace, the operation can be done with (very little) XPL.

Robert Holmgren's Convert! utilities includes routines that perform
both conversions. Go to XyWWWeb (URL below) and use your browser's
find function to locate the text string "Convert!". The relevant
routines within CONVERT.PM are:

 {{5cr210}} Change Carriage Return 13|10 to Ascii-10
 {{5cr213}} Change Carriage Return 13|10 to Ascii-13
