47 A shot in the dark:
48 * app-text/dos2unix
49 Available versions: 6.0.3 6.0.5 ~6.0.6 ~7.0 {debug nls test}
50 Homepage: http://www.xs4all.nl/~waterlan/dos2unix.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/dos2unix/
51 Description: Convert DOS or MAC text files to UNIX format or vice versa
52
53 * app-text/unix2dos
54 Available versions: 2.2-r1
55 Homepage: http://www.xs4all.nl/~waterlan/dos2unix.html
56 Description: UNIX to DOS text file format converter
57
58 Since dos2unix does both ways - remove unix2dos and you should be
59 fine...
