Just set &fileformats option to unix. I.e. disable dos and mac file formats recognition (if *all* lines in a file end with CRLF then ^M in line endings will not be shown because file format (== file line ending format) is recognized as dos; just CR without LF is mac format). ^M is CR. > > Thanks!! > > Neil > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. > Do not top-post!
