New and inexperienced unix user. I have several text files which were done in WordPerfect 5.1 running on (with/from?) a DOS card (3.1) on a 3b1. When I save them as DOS (ascii text) files, I can transfer them to unix and load them in vi, no problem. But... They come up in vi with '^M' where all the RETURNs are placed by WP (HRt)s, and if I enter: 'more <filename>' they will scroll fine, but I lose a line of text at the spot where all the 'MORE's appear. Scrolled with 'pr' (without |more) they are complete, and scroll without the ^Ms. I want to e-mail some of them, but the receiver will surely have the 'lost line' problem unless he/she can transfer them back to DOS and WP, which I can't count on (of course). Can anybody help me with this one? Post or e-mail, either will get it. -- ________________________________________________________________________ bill@ardent.kpc.com LADY LUCK IS A FICKLE BITCH, AND HER NAME IS KARMA.
