    Question Dirt in file

    Hi all,

    I have a .c file that has been edited on a Windows machine, and when compiled under unix i get lots of warnings like:
    "carriage return in preprocessing ".

    Is there a simple way to get around this? Like touch -something?

    / Fred

    mcopy will convert text files back and forth from OS's. It is part of a packet that you can download for Linux.

    Or you can replace the ^M character, which is added when you edit your files in Windows (MS Visual C++ for example) with a space using emacs or vi.
