Odd that there would be ^M carriage returns in a Unix created file, they
are the Windows carriage return but be not dismayed. Find your self a
package called dos2unix. A nifty tool I have been using for years
(writing code in Watcom on a Win 3.1 box, kermiting the file to my AIX
account for compiling :) and is designed to convert all the carriage
returns to Unix standard. Works like a charm. Or if you have Tcl
installed on the box, there is another slick way. Read the file and write
the file. Tcl is cross platform and saves files in the "native" style,
paths and carriage returns. Very useful and simple.
