For clarification:
Line endings in Unix/Linux: LF (0x0a)
Line endings in DOS/Windows: CR/LF (0x0d 0x0a)
Line endings in Mac: CR (0x0d)
Not quite sure why you're using a script. Just do:
cat filename | dos2unix
You could put that in a script, if you like. The output will be to
screen, with line endings of CR/LF.
