[ale] Carriage returns and line feeds

[David Ritchie]

Well, LF "\n" always means end of line in a linux text file. vi/vim simply
ignores CRs...

Perhaps this will work for you in vim:

:%s/.$//  (delete the CR at the end of each line)

   or :%s/^V^M//g

which says find all cntl-M (CR's) in a line and replace with a null strings

Note the the ^V is a control-V that will tell the command to except a
control character as part of a pattern.
