How do I remove CR/LF from text file

[Brian Keener <bkeener at thesoftwaresource dot com>]

I was working on some code and output a text file which displays fine in 
cygwin but I wanted to email the text to someone from within windows and 
if I look at the text in wordpad it looks fine but if I look at it in 
notepad then it is screwy and in either case if I try to cut and paste 
into my email program then the text is still real screwy and I don't want 
to have to edit it.  I assume this is a CR/LF issue - not a bug - I just 
can't figure out how to change it.

The text was originally created by sending to /tmp/foo which is on / 
which is a binary mount and so I did a 

cat /tmp/foo > /windows/temp/foo 

in which case /windows is a text mount thinking this would fix it, but it 
does not.  If I however go back and recreate the text file by outputting 
it to /windows/temp/foo in the first place - then wordpad, notepad and my 
email on like it, again I am assuming this is CR/LF related but that is 
an assumption.

Can someone provide me with a line that allows me to do a conversion 
after the fact like this or is there such a beast - On some unixen we had 
dos2unix and such.

Thanks for any input.
