Microsoft has chosen (for a long time now) to ignore the standard
line feed, instead replacing "LF" with "CR/LF".  There are lots of
ways to deal with this.  Personally, I finally just picked a 'Nix editor
that grokked it and automatically converts it to "LF".  I can't
imagine that vi couldn't do this; but I don't use it and therefore
I don't know.

But there's hope ... just a pinch of Google ... here's a freebie:
