This is a good vi incantation
(NB The ^V is only there to allow you to put in the ^M. The ^V doesnt
show in the final command line, so dont panic that you cant see it)
:g/^V^M/s///g
ie
g/^V^M/ - find a ^M (any one will do, you dont need to be at the file
start)
s/// - substitute nothing for the ^M just found
g - do this to all other ^M's
