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.
