I have never seen Vim or Gvim show me a "M-J" for a control
character. What are you seeing in Vim/Gvim and what is in
the file (in hex, for example) for those characters?
It is not likely a CR or LF. I've created a small file with
the first line ending in CR, the second line ending in LF
and the last two lines ending in CR/LF. The following is
what is shown inside Vim (identical to forcing UNIX):
line 1^Mline 2
line 3^M
line 4^M
Forcing DOS with --cmd "set ffs=dos" gives:
line 1^Mline 2
line 3
line 4
Forcing MAC with --cmd "set ffs=mac" gives:
line 1
line 2^Jline 3
^Jline 4
^J
Those ^M's and ^J's show up in blue in standard Gvim.
gvim -u NONE -N
Typing :%!xxd shows:
0000000: 6c69 6e65 2031 0d6c 696e 6520 320a 6c69 line 1.line 2.li
0000010: 6e65 2033 0d0a 6c69 6e65 2034 0d0a ne 3..line 4..
