Hmm...don't know about shell scripts, but here are a couple of C
programs that I use for converting from UNIX newlines to either Apple
newlines or DOS newlines.  Compile these with gcc (or some other ANSI
C) and drop them into your ~/bin directory (you do have one, right?).

Syntax: u2a infile outfile (UNIX-to-Apple)
        u2d infile outfile (UNIX-to-DOS)

#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
     FILE *in_hndl, *out_hndl;  /* file handles */
     char c;

     if (argc!=3)
     {
	  fprintf (stderr, "Usage: %s infile outfile\n", argv[0]);
	  return 1;
     }
     if ((in_hndl=fopen (argv[1], "r"))==NULL)  /* open input file */
     {
	  fprintf (stderr, "%s: can't open %s\n", argv[0], argv[1]);
	  return 1;
     }
     if ((out_hndl=fopen (argv[2], "w"))==NULL)  /* open output file */
     {
	  fprintf (stderr, "%s: can't open %s\n", argv[0], argv[2]);
	  return 1;
     }
     while ((c=getc (in_hndl))!=EOF)  /* copy files */
	  if (c!='\n')
	       putc (c, out_hndl);
	  else
	       putc ('\015', out_hndl);
     fclose (in_hndl);  /* close files */
     fclose (out_hndl);
     return 0;
