From tty? Please, explain better. These command in mu works
differently from standard Linuxes, because works only in pipe:

        cat dos.txt | dos2unix > unix.txt
        etc

Anyway: what means:
                tr '\012#' '#\012' ?

I think, "tr" only translate a single char. The char # is placeholder??
