cutting out the last field
Hi all;

i was asked to install an inventory tool on our Reliant Unix 5.45 server. I downloaded the file from our intratnet.
It was always failing when i try to install it.
After some investigation i saw that the installation script had something strange.
When i "cat <script>" i see nothing wrong.
When i "vī <script> " i see that each line of the script ends wiht ^M i guess this is a Carigage return....

I tried to use :
sed '/^M/d ' <script> >> <script1> and when i "vi <script1>" the problem is still there and i alway see ^M at the end of each line.

Can somebody tell me how can i remove this ^M ???

Thanks in advance.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.
