Thanks:|
I tried setting ff=mac and it did indeed chang the characters displayed in gvim to
^J but still did not act like a newline. I was able to use ghex to find/replace
0D with 0A and that worked ok. The guy I am working with is on a university
campus and this is all he has to work with in the server dept. For what it is
worth he hates it.
is there any command line magic I can use to do a global replace on the hex byte=
0D with hex 0A?
Still searching.
