Do they have Perl installed?  If so, here is a bash/shell script:


    #!/bin/sh
    perl -pi.bak -e "s/\\r//" $*

Remove the "i.bak" part, if you do not want to produce backup files. 
(Hope none of the back-slashes got removed in the email.)

By "slow", do you mean that you'd have to feed it one file at a
time?  If so, you can feed this script a number of file names (or a
wild-card arg, same thing) at once.
