Hi fellow-LfLers,

just started working on some LfL stuff again (three cheers for the folks 
who made SLE 10 SP1 finally disappear from our plates) and got pretty 
annoyed by ^M marks all over the files.

It doesn't break files, but visually pollutes them and makes editing XML 
even less fun than it already is ;)

So can we please agree to use editing tools that don't add DOS linebreaks 
or to run tr -d '\15' < file > clean_file to clean up the files before 
checking them in? 

jedit would be a good choice for editors working on any 
platform, because it can be easily configured to use linebreaks other than 
DOS.

Thanks a million!
Jana
