You might take a look at archivers/macutils in ports.  I've used that
before to decode mac files and extract the data from them.  If your just

or just plain old "tr '\r' '\n'"

NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
