Some versions of vi (notably vim, at least), will be "smart" enough to
handle DOS/Windows-style line endings transparently.  Also, less does
the same.  So if your editor/viewer doesn't show them, that doesn't
mean they couldn't be there.

Funny that.  I did that and I got the ^M's in that document.  Either
the file really has them in there, or the server (what is OSU/2.0
anyway?) adds them.  If it's a Windows-based server I could easily
see that happening.

Dave, if you're listening, you might want to look into finding out
why the file has ^M's when downloaded.
