You are correct in thinking that it is a problem with CR/LF conversions.

I've attached the source to a *very* simple (and crude) DOS -> UNIX
converter, as well as converted sources for your program.

To use the converter, just do:

dos2unix < infile.c > outfile.c

Although you may already have a similar program installed (most likely
under the name 'dos2unix', or possibly 'duconv'). If you do, I suggest you
use that instead, as it'll be much more well written :-)

Hope this helps,

Mo.
