 vi, emacs, and CR-LF
If you're going to attack it with Terminal.app, why not use emacs? It's at least somewhat closer to intuitive than vi.... The simple way of solving your CR-LF/newline problems is to use a perl commandline (or awk, I suppose, but I don't know awk).
To make mac files legible in Terminal I use
<code>perl -pe 's/\r/\n/g' myfilename > mynewfilename</code>
which does the job nicely. Though I think emacs is savvy to the CR-LF problem in any case.
