CR characters in d/l'ed text files

["Kevin Stokes" <linux@pieskysoft.com>]

   I have a very simple newbie question.

  I have downloaded a bunch of .java source code, but when I edit it with
VI, there is a carriage return at the end of each line.   What is the
standard Linux way of filtering those out?

  Thanks very much for your time.
