This must depend on which version of 'tr' you are using.

The GNU textutils version (as on Linux) allows escape sequences
such as \r , \n and so on (as in C). So the line

   cat infile | tr '\r' '\n' > outfile

will work. I have just checked the 'tr' on an old Solaris, and
while it does not support \r , \n etc it does support octal
representations, so that

   cat infile | tr '\015' '\012' > outfile

would work.

Finally, the GNU textutils (and other utilities) are also
available ported to many non-UNIX systems (including DOS),
though some functionality may be reduced.
