Hello,

   I am writing because I have been unable to figure out something.
When I go into *shell* all the returns are shown as ^M's.  For
example,
------------------
% w
w
  9:57am  up 13 days, 17:01,  2 users,  load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01
User     tty       login@  idle   JCPU   PCPU  what
dodd     ttyp0     9:05am            1         emacs 
%
------------------
Is there some way to turn this off?

    Also, I recently got a copy of GDB 3.4 because I am interested in
a FORTRAN debugger.  As I am sure you are aware, dbx sucks eggs while
xdbx sucks big goose eggs.  I was wondering if your work towards a
FORTRAN debugger and compiler is serious?  That is, I think anything
would be an improvement over f77 and dbx and that there are many
people agree with me and would be thrilled to switch over to GDB and a
GNU FORTRAN compiler.
