Hi Brent,

Your latest Newsline post has "garbage" in it, mainly characters that are
formatted in Windows that show up as junk in other codepages.  Could you run
your text through a converter first to make it pure ASCII?

Here's a very simple PowerShell-based conversion (wrapped to fit; should be
one single line:

Get-Content input.txt -Encoding Windows1252 | 
  Set-Content output.txt -Encoding Ascii

If you want to use it in CMD.EXE:

powershell -Command "Get-Content input.txt -Encoding Windows1252 |
  Set-Content output.txt -Encoding Ascii"

Doing so would be much easier for the rest of us to read those posts.

Thanks and 73,
Sean
