This is what I do for code too. If someone wants a database app (perl/cgi) that will not be opensourced (like a mortgage broker, whatever) I charge double. I have a question that really irritates me (both my own stupidity and the problem itself): If I get a shell script from someone and go to run it, sometimes it returns 'bad interpreter' due to a trailing ^M after the shebang line. No problem to lose this interloper but I want to know why elvis will not display control chars! If I run vi (elvis) with no args and then load the file using :r filename the characters are displayed. But if I pass the name of the file as an arg (vi filename) the characters are not displayed! And the set command (or whatever) that forces vi to print them eludes me. Anyone know how to do this???
