I always use tr(1) to do that, eg say your Microsloth file is myfile.txt
do this:
tr -d "\r" < myfile.txt > myfile
Then you have a file called 'myfile' without the extra ^M-s which are
Carriage Return (CR) characters identified with the "\r" in the command.
You can also use dos2unix if you have it installed. But tr comes
with FreeBSD by default.
Have fun,
