Once again, thanks Tom, sed appears to have done the trick.  For anyone
that's interested here's what worked for me:

sed 's/^M/\\r/' alldump.sql > alldump2.sql
where ^M is entered by pressing Ctrl+V then Enter.

For any of the more experienced linux pros out there I'd appreciate any
corrections if I've misspoken or have some error in logic.
