there's a pair of GNU utilities that do this: utod and dtou
(unis to dos  and  dos to unix respectively)

The problem isn't on the UNIX end, its the the DOS side. All versions of DOS
append CR+LF to every line of ASCII that gets written to disk. There is no
way around it other than to open the file in binary mode and process it that
way.

>From the AS/400 side, it will handle the conversion, but if you are FTPing
to a PC from a UNIX box, then transfer the file in binary mode, it will come
over without the annoying conversion.
