Why 2 sets of scripts?
=====================

In DOS, lines ends with <CR><LF> 
while Unix ends with just <LF>.

To accomdate all users, the .txt versions 
were converted to DOS using the vim
command described below.

Those of us doomed to work in both the Unix and Windows world have many times encountered
files that were create/editted on systems other that the one we are on at the time of our edits.  We
can easily correct the dreaded '^M' at the end of our Unix lines, or make files have more than one
line in DOS by:

To change from <CR><LF> (DOS) to just <LF> (Unix):
:set fileformat=unix
:w

Or to change back the other way:
:set fileformat=dos
:w

It also works for Apple land:
:set fileformat=mac
:w


And to tell the difference:
set statusline=%<%f%h%m%r%=%{&ff}\ %l,%c%V\ %P
                                              ^^^^^  This shows what the current file's format is.

Happy Vimming!
