You can use

        BEGIN { RS = "\r?\n" }

and then gawk will work with data files that are from either DOS
or Unix.  It already ignores CR characters in program source files.

This is not clear. Are you talking about finding source files,
or data files?  You may need to adjust the AWKPATH environment
variable if you have it set.

Please clarify further what you are seeing.
