Programming?  If this file is a text file then global search and replace 
should suffice if you can figure out which editor to use.  I have a 
wonderful little Freeware editor called Crismon Edit ( 
http://www.crimsoneditor.com ) which not only recognizes the differences 
between Unix and Windows text files but also colorizes just about every 
language I would ever consider using.  Using this I could just change 
the format and re-save.  Oddly enough, I consider the fact that it is 
not written in Java to be an advantage.  Java is a joy to write but a 
pain to use because of the inefficiencies of having to use a vitual 
machine.  I sure wish there were some publicly available Java compilers 
( as opposed to interpreters ) out there.  Borland's sounds good but of 
course it costs about $5K.
