No one cares about your blog...

Here is the relevant vim code from his post there

:%s/^V^M/^V^V^V/g

:%s/^V^M/^V^V/g

:%s/^V^M/^V/g

:%s/\/\/ /\/\/^V/g

How about setting  ffs?

:set ffs+=mac

Best to use it before loading the file. Then you won't get any problems about ^Ms or something like that.
