Dave,
I didn't see this in any of the other answers given, but you
might want to try the dos2unix command once you get the file onto
your Linux box. Windows tends to add an extra carriage return with
the line feed at the end of each line (which shows up as a ^M if I
remember right). Some code interpreters disregard this but others
don't. At any rate, dos2unix is run on the command line - $dos2unix
<input file> <output file>. This cleans up the extraneous carriage
returns in the file.
