LF / CR problem

[Jon Rogers]

Hello

I run the emacs version that come bundled with RedHat 8. When I load
files from my dying Mac, the new line situation is handled satisfactory,
so that files that look like crap when viewed with the "more" command
are displayed correctly.

However, when I save them from emacs, they still look the same in more.
I'd like to be able to "export" the text file so that it uses linux line
feed and not the Mac dito, just the way it looks in emacs. I guess this
is possible, but I can't understand how to do it.

FWIW, for a non-Emacs solution 'man mac2unix' or 'man dos2unix'.

I use eol-conversion.el, which provides functions and drop down menus
for converting to DOS, MAC, and Unix line endings.
