Unix comes with the "dos2unix" and "unix2dos" commands (or scripts) that
takes care of the ^M problem.
If you do not have dos2unix, you could use sed or vi.
In sed:
--------
sed 's/^M//' {infile} > {outfile}
where ^M is created by
holding down the Ctrl and press the character v key followed by
the character m key
PS: m and v implies lower case m and lower case v.
That is:
fofmx1:/william/spool(23)% cal > a; unix2dos a b; cat -tev a b
