DOS files that have been edited by many people
often have mismatched carriage returns.
These files should be cleaned before being used for anything.

I just

M-x Query replace regexp: ^M
Query replace regexp ^M with:
<Enter>

and do a few manually,
then '!' for the rest.

Then
M-x buffer-to-dos

or

buffer-to-unix

And all is well.
