What does this prog do?
Two main things:

1) example segments of input and output

Input                    Output
english-speaking   -> english-speaking       //no change
1986-1992          -> 1986-1992              //no change
-- unknown foo --  -> -- unknown foo --      //no change
aid of their co-   -> aid of their country.  //concanteates hyphenated word
untry.

2) Removes all characters which are not greater than ASCII 31 and lass than
	ASCII 127.  This results in one stream of text.

Short Description:
w_clean.zip      Removes EOL  hyphens, & concatenates that word

Long Description:
This is a C++ program which when used removes hyphens at the end of lines and concatentates the hyphenated word (without the 
hyphen).  This program also strips any characters that are not meaningful.  Characters below ASCII 32 and above ASCII 126 are 
removed.  Thus onces this program has filtered a .txt file, all that remains is pure readable text\ without end of line hyphens.
