In Emacs this has to do with coding systems, which I've never fully
understood. See the Info node "Coding Systems" which is under
"International" or "International Character Set Support" under
"Emacs".

However, I typically do this with a command-line Perl script when I
need to convert from Macintosh linends to Unix linends:
  perl -pe's/\r/\n/g;' in-with-Mac-eols > out-with-Unix-eols
Can't be too difficult to figure out the Windows equivalent.
(s/\r\n/\n/g; or maybe s/\r\f/\n/g;?)
