Hi,
I am using Samba 1.9.18. The server is running on Solaris 2.5.1 and the
client is on Win NT 4.0
I am annoyed by the Control-M characters appearing in text files when the
files are edited on Windows
editors and viewed in vi on Sun machine. I had to manually remove the
Control-M characters.
Is there a way to eliminate the Control M characters ?
Thanks
Krishna

Or, maybe preferably, use text editors in Windows that honour the native line endings of a file, be it Mac, Unix or DOS. Textpad is one such text editor. Then you'll only occationally encounter those ^Ms. They're pretty easily disposed of from vi: :%s/^M$// (That's a ctrl-v ctrl-m sequence, not the ^ character.)
