This is what I do for code too. If someone wants a database app (perl/cgi)
that will not be opensourced (like a mortgage broker, whatever) I charge
double.
I have a question that really irritates me (both my own stupidity and
the problem itself):
If I get a shell script from someone and go to run it, sometimes it
returns 'bad interpreter' due to a trailing ^M after the shebang line.
No problem to lose this interloper but I want to know why elvis will
not display control chars! If I run vi (elvis) with no args and then
load the file using :r filename the characters are displayed. But if
I pass the name of the file as an arg (vi filename) the characters are
not displayed! And the set command (or whatever) that forces vi to
print them eludes me. Anyone know how to do this???
Cheers
