Odd characters

[Erich Schroeder <erich@museum.state.il.us>]

Hi,
  No, I'm not asking about people;) I've been editing some html that I
produced from text files exported from Win95 MS word translated from mac
MS word (arrg) and I have been finding odd characters. In vi they look
like ~U, and in netscape they come through as *, both on screen and in
"view source". My preferred text editor (nedit) won't let me grab them for
search&replace. What I really need is a script to strip them out of my
html files, but I don't know how to identify them. I believe that you can
see some of them at:

assuming that I can remember a url that long...

Thanks in case someone can figure out how to search&destroy these thingys

Erich
