You could try converting the "^M" (carriage return) into a linefeed using the command:
cat master | tr \r \n | new.master And "cat"ing the file might not be a true indication of your ability to open and read the file within UV/UD. The vt100 view indicates that the content is legible. The vt220 emulation is corrupting the *view* of the content and is not a true reflection of the contents. Converting the carriage return to a linefeed will make the file more usable in unix.

Hi all, I am trying to read a Unix file from and old aix machine. The people who sent it will not bend in how they sent it. What I got was in binary format so I used 'od' to convert it to ascii. When I tried to cat the file before trying to READSEQ records it looked like gibberish! I realized that if I set my Term type to vt100, I could read it but the carriage returns were just ^M after each record. After trying 'sed' I gave up. Universe will not read the file at all. I still get gibberish even on the converted file. Any ideas? There must be a way to do this. What am I missing?
