I submitted (many years ago) a DETAR program for MS-DOS to the EMBL
software archives. It had the advantage that it also corrected CR/LF
on the fly.
Dunno if it will still be around, but if it is, it should be in
ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/dos
I don't have any old copy around any longer (broke free from M$-world
long ago, and happy I am, man).
