[ale] text file with non-ascii

[jkinney at localnetsolutions.com (James P. Kinney III)]

I need to remove all non-ascii text from a very large file.

What shows as non-ascii are things like ~B ~C ~R ~@ ~Z ~E and ~\

I have used sed to remove the dos newlines (^M) and another control code
(^G) but I'm stumped how these are formatted.
