Thx for your help, and I'm just using the regular vi that comes with
FreeBSD 4.4

I'm still trying to get what's different or surprising about
this--nothing=20
should be any different w/r/t FreeBSD & ^M vs. any other Unix-like O/S.
If something *is* different, you must be using a different editor or
capture=20
process or *something* than what you used before.

I've attached the scripts that I actually use to do this. Just put both
of=20
them in a directory that's in your path & you're all set. I've tossed
"all"=20
in for good measure; you can use
unmsdos *.*=20
to make all of the files "Unixy" or=20
all '*.*' 'uncrnl $i'
to just un-cr-nl them.
I'm sure that there are standard utilities to do this, but this is
literaly=20
what I do.
