hi everyone:

is there a command-line utility that can get rid of ^M characters from text files written under Windows/DOS? i'm editing code in vi and those ^M's are a bit annoying. i found linefeed on freshmeat but its a gui that only converts one file at a time. i'm looking for a commandline utility that can take wildcards so i can convert a whole bunch of files (*.cxx and *.hxx files) with one command.

thanks in advance!
