There should be numerous little DOS utlities to do the trick - check some of
the standard FTP sites like oakland.edu. I used to have lots of little utils
to do things like removing zero-length files, stripping hard-returns,
stripping null characters, etc. If you were running OS/2, I could whip up a
little REXX batch to do the trick.
