Yowsers, I've been using slack for about five years and never noticed
the `todos' and `fromdos' commands!  I did however have `dos2unix' on my
box because I needed it and grabbed the source and compiled it.  Now
that I know about the two that come with slackware I can just toss
`dos2unix'.  Thanks Rich!
