Time for a few observations.
o Of all the people reading these groups, it's fair to
assume that some subset are not reading under MS-DOS
and/or any permutation of MS-Windows(comp.os.what?).
o Of that set of people, another subset are reading under
some version of the UNIX operating system.
o Of this set, another subset does not like reading ^M's
everywhere from people posting from a DOS box.
o Writing a shell script or perl script or even a C program
to extract ^M's from text files is a trivial task.
o At the prices(>$400.00) that Netmanage charges for their
stuff, you'd think they would handle this inside the package.
'Nuff said.
