Were you using vim? If so, you can just do ":set fileformat=unix" to take care of it. Other vi clones may vary. (If you were able to see the characters, as you would in some vi clones which don't handle DOS and Mac text file formats, they'd look like ^M, and you'd be able to get rid of them by doing ":%s///g".) -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your front door.
