<< a problem with removing trailing ^M's from lines in vi >>

| Of course, this could be a bug in other versions of vi.  (At this
| very moment, I am running `Version 3.7, 6/7/85'---so says `:ver'.)

The "vi" distributed by Microport is `Version 3.9, 2/9/83'.  Strange,
when was the timewarp?  (ps, the pattern above works ok, as well as
the one without the trailing '$')

Yup :-)
