Thanks for all the ways, gents. (I never thought of tr,
but now that seems like an option.) A week+ ago I tried
perl using 's/\xNN/"/g' from the cmdline, but nojoy.
The online docs said that \N{xx} would catch a hex character;
that's what was fuzzy.
{Very} early this morning I retried using \x80 and
\x9d, \x9c separately. diff showed that things worked...
mostly; then I found more hex characters that I had to
carefully subs out. I'll write a script to do the whole
bunch.
No wonder I love Unix!
