This is some excercise to do rather common operation 
(common at least to me... ;-)...)

Maybe I dare to suggest new MC command (presumably in FILE pull-down menu):
"Convert", with options: 
MS-DOS -> Unix
Unix   -> MS-DOS

and maybe for Apple etc.

And possibly with the option to save with different name (with "Save as...."
prefilled with current name).

I know I'll like to have it many times... ;-)
