the example:

  vim configure
> set ff=unix
> wq


was meant as:

run 'vim' on your configure file
inside vim, enter command mode (hit <ESCAPE>) and issue the command ':set ff=unix' (change \
file-format to unix) then issue the command ':wq' (write and quit).

You could do this on the command line with:

vim -c 'set ff=unix | wq!' configure

e.g.:

$ file configure
configure: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
$ vim -c 'set ff=unix | wq!' configure
$ file configure
configure: ASCII text

now, it's a UNIX format file.

but, if you're doing it from the command line, and don't have 'dos2unix' (normall in a package \
name like dos2unix or dosutils or such), then you might as well do:

     sed -i -e 's/\r//' configure

Though sometimes/often DOS file formats include an EOF (End Of File) marker of '<CTRL>-Z', and \
this command won't remove that.
