My HTMLCleanUp 1.1 can do that on all text type files like .HTM,
HTML and .TXT. In HTML files search-and-replace strings, special
characters like ASCII >127 are as default converted to "&xxxx;" tags
(may be de-selected). For further information and downloading a 30
days fully workable free demo, see http://www.prc.dk/software/hcu-
