* EOM is not a command, it's an end-of-text marker, similar to the one used in Perl.A simple command like "perl -i.bak -npe 's/\r\n/\n/g' filename" will clear the linefeeds and even make a backup of the file. (It has never failed me, but you'll never know)
* There are text-file incompatibilities between Unix and DOS. If you're copying/pasting the file from the website in Windows, ftp'ing it to a Unix box and then trying to run it, all those extra linefeeds may cause extremely bizzare errors.
I hate to say it, but if you can only get the Internet on your winbox, you should probably fire up vi (or whatever editor you like) and enter it manally. Or run a dos2unix utility on the script on your Unix box to set it up and clear out those linefeeds.
