What I would do:

find . -iname '*.htm' -exec dos2unix {} {} \;

or

find /home/zach/txt -iname '*.htm' -exec dos2unix {} {} \;

Find each file in /home/zach/txt which has a name that matches the (case
insensitive) regular expression *.htm.  For each file found, run the
program 'dos2unix file1 file1'.  (The {} is replaced with the name of
the found file.  The ; ends the command.  You need to escape the semicolon.)

What else ya got?
