You are right ... should have googled for it, sorry. Anyways, who uses 
ASCII nowadays :-)

Seriously:
The only time i actually saw a ^M was with "mcedit" after I edited the 
same file with the template-editor in wp-admin. "vi" does not show them, 
"pico" doesn't and a whole bunch of other editors, too ... Windows 
Ultraedit even asks politely what to do with the file (convert/keep) and 
has no problem working with both styles. So where is the problem? :-)
