First off I am new to Solaris but not linux,UNIX, etc. When I download the apache source code to compile it there are ^M characters at the end of every line of every text based file. I know the whole deal about UNIX(\n) vs windows(\r\n) newline characters and I also know about sed,perl and unix2dos. I have never had this problem in linux before. I have no problem filtering one file, but when you extract a huge tarbal or zip file I don't have the time to filter all 1000 or so files. Is this normal in Solaris?

fixed it. It turns out I was downloading the zip version which was written in windows instead of the tar
