Asking on dos2unix syntax

HI just to add some info.
when opening the file, using vi of course, do the following :
:1,$s/<CTRL>+<v> <CTRL>+<m>//g
This would do the following :
:1,$s # substitute from line 1 till the end
/<CTRL>+<v> <CTRL>+<m>/ # ctrl+v for a special character, named ctrl+m
//g # and replace it with nothing, do this multiple times per line
easy isn't it

dos2unix - mtools utility to convert a DOS file to UNIX SYNOPSIS
dos2unix msdosfile OPTIONS
None OPERANDS
Name of the file to convert. DESCRIPTION
The dos2unix command converts a file from DOS format to UNIX format. The converted file replaces the original file. Subdirectory names that contain the '/' or '' separator are supported. If you use the '' separator or wildcards, you must enclose file names in quotes to protect them from the shell. The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of dos2unix: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used. FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default mtools working directory is A:. Executable file SEE ALSO
