It is still a DOS to Unix issue not a BIND one.

Of course Solaris has dos2unix which removes ASCII characters
015 and 032 (in Octal) from relevant places, so Barry doesn't
need vi for this.

I pipe files through "tr -d '\15\32'" when I have no better tool
to hand, I don't think these characters should occur in Unix
text files, except perhaps printer drivers, although I guess
they are probably allowed in DNS records in these liberal 8 bit
days ;)
