To remove CRs from text files, you can use tools like 'dos2unix'. If
you want to use an editor like vim,
:%s/^M//
(where ^M is a literal CR character entered by pressing Ctrl-V then
Ctrl-M)
If the file is a true DOS text file (that is, if _all_ lines end in
CRLF), then simply tell vim you want to make it unix --
:set ff=unix
:write
-D
