Three ways to deal with this:
1. Do the editing in a UNIX environment. Guess you are sort of
past this one already.
2. When you transfer the source from the Microsloth machine to the UNIX
machine use FTP in ASCII mode. eg. after you have made the FTP
connection, type 'ascii' (minus the quotes). FTP will automatically
strip the ^M from the lines. By the way, going the other direction,
- UNIX to MS, it will add them for you.
3. Already on the UNIX system? use tr(1). It will make such changes.
type rtr -d "\r" < MESSYFILE > UNIFILE
where: MESSYFILE is the file from MS with the extra ^M
UNIFILE is the resulting cleaned up file
