file encoding prob.

Hi there,
Right, I wrote a fortran code that reads text files and produces output.
The problem is that the files I created to test the code work fine. But
files I get from "outside", even if as ascii contain control codes that
screw things up.

Things like ^@^M and such.

dos2unix does nothing.

So, the big question is : how does one strip files from these codes, or
change them to linux standards?

This is the one thing that prevents the process to work and I am running out
of ideas here.

Thanks for any help.
G.
