It's not MiNT that puts in these ^M but the (GNU/MiNT) library. You
should include 'b' in the UNIXMODE environment variable. Then the
library implicitly assumes all fopen()'s are in binary mode unless
explicitly overridden. It's easiest to put a line like this in
mint.cnf:

setenv UNIXMODE /brU

This means:
- / is converted to \ in filenames
- fopen()'s are binary by default
- the root device is U:, e.g /etc/termcap is converted to
U:\etc\termcap

Btw. the standard atari format *is* CRLF.
