Hi there,

not a BSD solution, but there is a program called Super NoteTab for Windows
which will allow you to save in the UNIX format.  Dont let the name put you
off it really is pretty good, especially when you have samba and notetab
editing files directly off you web server.

www.notetab.com

cheers

Subject: replacing ^M in vi


Whenever I save a plain text file in WinNT and open it in FreeBSD, at the
end of every line is a "^M".  How do I get rid of these?  I tried writing a
little C++ program to copy all text except "^M" to another file, but it
doesn't work because C++ treats the ^ and the M as different characters,
whereas vi treats them as _one_ character.  After searching the mailing
list archives, I came up with the syntax ":%s/stuff/other stuff/g" as the
oh-so-intuitive replace command in vi, and I tried it, but to no avail (it
says "no match found").  Any suggestions?  Thanks,
