Re: Spaces Problem

There's usually, for Unices, a utility program named dos2unix which can
be used to convert dos text files to Unix format, and it works for
Linux, too.

I believe that's the name.  I just tried to verify, for I've rarely
needed to use this, but it's not on my system, probably due to not
having the dos utilities package installed.

Look for dos2unix and then run your dos files through it.  If dos2unix
is installed on your system, then there's probably a man page for it.
If you don't have this util, then you may either look for one and
download it, or use a simple, one shot per file, sed command.
