Of course I did it like this since i have no modem under linux ;-(

Exactly. Don't know why I don't see it in vi. Is it something one has
to turn on in the .vimrc or something like that? When I edit
html-files on the Webserver in vi I do see it

I don't know if I have dos2unix (sitting here at work) Since this
should be the case in every file in every subdirectory of the driver,
could I use Devdas perl-script with find?
find . -name *.* -exec perl -pi -e 's/\r\n/\n/' {} \;
However, 'make install' produced no error messages
