CLEANUP DOS FILES 
If you deal with DOS files and the "^M" character
 always appears at the end of the line, here are
 two ways to get rid of them.
 
 If you edit the DOS text file with the "vi"
 editor in UNIX, use the following from the
 "vi" command line:
 
 :%s/^V^M//g
 
 From a Unix shell use the command:
 
 % sed 's/^V^M//g' foo > foo.new
 
 NOTE:  ^V is control V and ^M is control M or Enter
 
 NOTE: All tips provided are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Tips are submitted

test each tip in a non-volitile environment before placing into
