i don't have the source, but i presume it might be available because the 
program is free.

D:\BIN\NT\TRANS.EXE 7.8 - (c) Kai Uwe Rommel - Feb 01 1994

Usage: D:\BIN\NT\TRANS.EXE [-clmoxisbefrn] [-w#] infile ...

This program translates text files between different environments and handles
line separators, removes trailing whitespace and carriage returns and can also
expand or insert tab characters or remove backspace characters (nroff output).

Options: (not case sensitive)

  -c   separate lines by CR/LF (default on DOS and OS/2)
  -l   separate lines by single LF (default on Unix)
  -m   separate lines by single CR (for Macintosh)
  -o   input lines are separated by single CR (LF or CR/LF otherwise)

  -x   expand tabulators to blank characters
  -i   insert tabulators to replace multiple blanks
  -s   do not insert tabs into string constants between '' or ""
  -w#  set tabulator width

  -b   delete backspaces and overwritten characters
  -e   compress multiple blank lines into single ones

  -f   act as a filter
  -r   recurse through subdirectories
  -n   do not create backup files
