New Re: dos2unix, unix2dos
Is there a way of implementing these 'in the background'. Remember, these are beginning students with little or no knowledge of UNIX (or command lines, even) working from Windows.

I was considering building a shell wrapper around perl to filter the text.

New I'd go this route
Having recently been bitten by two versions of this bug (a client-supplied CGI, and our own DNS zonefile generator), a wrapper to strip the CRs at some point -- file transfer, periodically in the directory, or prior to running the script, might be a good thing.

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?

People from Iowa are often kinda dumb, but their English isn't that bad, even though they come from Central America.
