If your using this data file on a Unix machice you can easily
convert it using a standard text converter.

SGI: to_unix
SUN Solaris 2.x : dos2unix

or use apropos on your system to see what's available, i.e.,

apropos "convert text"

I used the SGI utility to_unix and got a clean image from your data.
This solution seemed easier than converting the ASCII data within IDL.
