Didn't have much time to read the other replies, but here's what's going on:
In Micro$oft's Operating systems (DOS, Windows) and their dirivatives
(alternate DOS systems), at the end of line two characters are entered: 10
and 13 (Carriage Return and Line Feed).
However, Unix uses only one of them. So, it doesn't know what to do with
the other, and considers it as a normal character. In VI or other editors,
each line will have ^M at its end.
To correct that, there are programs who transform DOS files to Unix files
(and the opposite). Dos2Unix is one... Fromdos and todos is another.
