Earlier an Oracle DBA asked me to install unix2dos for AIX because he
has problem scripts written in windows with ^M trailings. I told him
to use vi instead, cut and insert his windows written scripts and if
he has trailing problem with ^M do a :%s/^M//g

i've been using PICO (and PINE) for ages but now it's nano that ships
with linux distributions. All crude and primitive. for coding i've
used NEdit literally forever.

maybe it's time to look at something more modern... sadly there is no
Linux/Unix equivalent for UltraEdit.
